BlackParrot – An Open-Source RISC-V Multicore Processor

Sponsor: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

Co-I/Co-PI: Ajay Joshi

Abstract:

The goal of this project is to design and open-source a Linux-capable, cache-coherent, RV64GC multicore processor. This processor is currently being developed by the University of Washington and Boston University, but it strives to be community-driven and infrastructure agnostic core, which is Pareto optimal in terms of power, performance, area and complexity. BlackParrot is ideal as the basis for a lightweight accelerator host, a standalone Linux core or as a hardware research platform.
