The RAMP Summer retreat has now come and gone. Aside from pictures of all
the smiling attendees, all of the talks, and a few of the posters can be found on the
publications page.
Introducing RAMP Gold
[5-12-2008]
The RAMP Gold project is a new effort to produce fully parameterized manycore emulations using FPGAs to help
accelerate hardware and software research within the recently announced ParLab.
In particular we hope to release emulators ported to both the BEE3 and the
Xilinx ML505 FPGA boards,
along with tutorials and documentation to help external researchers use our systems. We also plan to enable
remote access to Berkeley-based BEE3 systems to allow academic researchers to share our FPGA infrastructure.
A fresh crop of eager new U.C. Berkeley students has started work to
sketch out the architecture of the RAMP Gold emulator and the ParLab target system.
Anyone interested in getting involved with RAMP Gold should take a quick look at our
Getting Started page. We'll post more
information here over time.
