Alberto Moreno and Roger Espasa participated in the RISC-V Forum: Vector and Machine Learning with the talk "OVI: The Open Vector Interface"
Sep 15th, 2021
| RISC-V Forum
In this talk, Alberto Moreno and Roger Espasa presented OVI, an open protocol to connect a RISC-V core with a loosely coupled vector unit compliant to the RISC-V vector specification. OVI has been used to connect the Avispado core from SemiDynamics to the Vitriuvius vector unit from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. In this talk we covered the details of the protocol and explained how it can enable a quicker implementation of a RISC-V compliant vector unit with custom extensions.
