Open source hardware

VROOM! - high end RISC-V core

Executive summary

• Goal: Very high end RISC-V implementation – cloud server class
• Out of order, super scalar, speculative
• RV64-IMAFDCHBK(V)
• Up to 8 IPC (instructions per clock) peak, goal ~4 average on ALU heavy work
• 2-way simultaneous multithreading capable
• Multi-core
• Currently boots Linux on an AWS-FPGA instance
• Early dhrystone numbers: ~10.3 DMips/MHz - still a work in progress.
• GPL3 – dual licensing possible
