CloudX
CloudX.cc
is an initiative started in good old Bavaria. It is created to
promote the idea of system hyper pipelining (SHP). SHP offers
great
possibilities
for parallel algorithms and multicores.
The positive impact on the complete ecosystem (architecture,
software, hardware, ...) is very
promising. To discuss this method as well as new ideas and
applications, a faq-section
and
free examples are set up.
System
Hyper Pipelining
System
Hyper Pipelining (SHP) is a method to multiply the functionality
of systems and cores by using the logic in
a
time
sliced
fashion. It can be used on any sequential design. Due to the
increasing usage of multi-processor systems,
the
initiative starts with SHP of processors. It
remains to be seen if some bricks
can be knocked out of the memory
and power
walls as well as to clear up some SoC bus bottlenecks. It
is important to notice, that this method can
be used on
applications
such as filters, data streaming, synthesizers, image
processing
etc. and we encourage the community to
make suggestions, which
will be discussed in the
faq-section and any cooperation is welcome.
OpenCores,
uPlug and Arduissimo
OpenCores: So far, all cores have been
taken from the OpenCores.org project list.
Most designs are slightly enhanced (e.g.
full instruction set, special function registers, ...) before they are
used in a CloudX project.
uPlug: This
is an electronic plug&play system, optimized for entry
level system prototyping for µCs and FPGAs, as
well as the combination of µCs and FPGAs.
Arduissimo IDE: The Arduino IDE is modified
to enable the support of CloudX projects. When an
external compiler is
used, the Arduissimo IDE can still be used for
downloading and debugging.
Arduino is a trademark of
the Arduino team.
