Lessons from the OpenPiton Platform
Presented by Jonathan Balkind
Here, we present some of our lessons learned from developing the OpenPiton Manycore Research Framework!
OpenPiton development started in late 2013 and it was open sourced in 2015.
It has aided the academic community for building projects across computer architecture, security, compilers, electronic design automation, circuits, and beyond.
In 2020 we took a retrospective look at OpenPiton after 5 years of open source development.
We shared some advice and lessons learned under four high level themes:
- Design philosophy
- Maintaining open infrastructure
- Closing the loop
- Evolution and ongoing improvements
