Presentation
Open-Source Hardware Tools: Advancing Architecture Research and Chip Prototyping
DescriptionAs demand for specialized architectures and innovative approaches grows in the post-Moore era of HPC and scientific edge computing, this BoF session explores the potential of domain-specific accelerators and open-source tools in architecture research and chip prototyping. Goals include fostering collaboration among professionals, identifying trends and challenges, and exploring AI-assisted design. Topics cover ongoing research, experiences with open-source tools and gap analysis. Additionally, we discuss computational demands and multi-physics simulation opportunities from chip prototyping as a new type of HPC workload. Expected outcomes include actionable insights, a collaborative network, and inspiration for new initiatives in architecture research and chip prototyping.
