چکیده

The Raw microprocessor consumes 122 million transistors, executes 16 different load, store, integer or floating point instructions every cycle, controls 25 GB/s of I/O bandwidth, and has 2 MB of on-chip, distributed L1 SRAM memory, providing on-chip memory bandwidth of 43 GB/s. Is this the latest billion-dollar 3,000 man-year processor effort? In fact, Raw was designed and implemented by a handful of graduate students who had little or no experience in microprocessor implementation.

High-Bandwidth Packet Switching on the Raw General-Purpose Architecture

One of the dictinct features of modern Internet routers is that most performancecritical tasks, such as the switching of packets, is currently done using Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) or custom-designed hardware. The only few cases when off-the-shelf general-purpose processors or specialized network processors are used are route lookup, Quality of Service (QoS), fabric schedu...

The Raw Processor: A Composeable 32-Bit Fabric for Embedded and General Purpose Computing

The Raw project is attempting to create a scalable processor architecture that is suitable for both general purpose and embedded computations. Current general purpose processors differ from embedded devices in that they provide large amounts of hardware support to discover and manipulate instruction-level parallelism and unstructured memory accesses. Because the parallelism in embedded computat...

Yarn pulling out test and numerical solution of penetration into woven fabric target impregnated with shear thickening fluid using SiO2 /Polyethylene Glycol

In this paper, finite element model of woven fabric target has been investigated which is impacted by a cylindrical projectile. Fabrics are impregnated with Shear Thickening Fluid (STF). The effects of the (STF) have been considered as frictional effect. The STF has been made (Nano Silica and Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)) and then diluted by ethanol proportion of 3:1. Yarn pulling out test from in...

Latching on the Wire and Pipelining in Nanoscale Designs

In contrast to general-purpose programmable fabrics, such as PLAs, we develop nano-fabrics that, while also programmable and hierarchical, are more tuned towards an application domain. Our goal is to achieve denser designs with better fabric utilization and efficient cascading of circuits. We call these designs NASICs: Nanoscale Application-Specific Integrated Circuits. We believe NASICs are a ...
