A Vector processing unit implementation for RISC-V vector extension: Functional verification and assertions on submodules
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-09)
Master thesis
Open AccessPower dissipation and Energy consumption of digital circuits has emerged as an important design parameter in the evaluation of microelectronic circuits. This has led electronic architects to value Parallel Architectures ... -
Design under test interface implementation and stimulus in the verification of a RISC-V vector accelerator
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decision
Covenantee: Barcelona Supercomputing CenterThe production of a microprocessor is one of the most complex and expensive processes in the industry these days. These high costs are why big companies dedicate most of their efforts to design verification during the ... -
Infrastructure and functional correctness in the verification of a RISC-V vector accelerator
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-01-26)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decision
Covenantee: Barcelona Supercomputing CenterWhen we talk about hardware development, many efforts are made to tape out a bug-free design. The hardware fabrication process costs enormous amounts of money to the companies, so they can not afford to produce faulty ... -
Multicore architecture prototyping on reconfigurable devices
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-04-15)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessIn the the last decades several performance walls were hit. The memory wall and the power wall are limiting the performance scaling of digital microprocessors. Homogeneous multicores rely on thread-level parallelism, which ... -
Verification of a floating point reduction unit
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-07-01)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessThis thesis goes around the effort made to verify a submodule of a vector processing unit or VPU. This submodule is the one in charge of performing vector reductions, and due to the nature of some of the reductions, an ...
