The RAMP Bootcamp is designed to familiarize the graduate students with the RAMP Design Framework
and associated tools. In particular, we are aiming to use the RAMP Description Language (RDL)
to build a system based on the
Gaisler LEON-3 processor
and IP library.
The bootcamp was in Austin, TX from March 21st through March 25th.
Through the planning and during the bootcamp we will wanted to accumulate our results in
a single document which is also
availible from the publications page. However
time constraints turned this into a presentation
instead.
Finally, we posted a few pictures of graduate students in action.
We will provide breakfast and lunch at the hotel each day, and then
go out as a group (or a few small groups) for dinner. We will also go out for
drinks afterwards a few nights, so plan on coming out to experience the
best cuisine and atmosphere downtown Austin has to offer.
Bootcampers are expected to share a room with one other person. If you would like an individual room, please notify
me as soon as possible.
