RAMP: Research Accelerator for Multiple Processors - A Community Vision for a Shared Experimental Parallel HW/SW Platform

Category: Desktops, Laptops and OS, IT Management

Overview This paper proposes to build and support a large-scale, FPGA-based emulation platform to accelerate research in multiprocessors. Advances in FPGA capacity and speed now enable a 1024-processor system to be emulated with just a few dozen FPGAs at very low cost per processor. By creating a research community around a common hardware and software infrastructure, they will pool the resources to build a far more productive environment than they could have achieved individually. Hence the name of the system, Research Accelerator for Multiple Processors (RAMP), as it should ramp up the rate of research in hardware and software for multiple processors. This paper is the text of a proposal to NSF to support the development of RAMP.
