CHIMP gets underway

The CHIMP project puts together the complementary expertise of research labs ranging from HW (technology and architecture) to software (system-level, operating system and applications) to devise a multi-objective full-stack simulation framework, able to provide design guidelines and assess efficiency at all levels of the stack. Four research institutions are collaborating with Intel to build the …

X-HEEP – an open source RISC-V architecture

Our researchers are developing a prototyping environment that allows algorithm developers to assess the implications of their high-level decisions, without overwhelming them with the low-level platform details. This project is based on the open-source X-HEEP (eXtendable Heterogeneous Energy-Efficient Platform), a collaboration between the Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL) of the EPFL and the EPFL EcoCloud Center. …
