An open-source RISC-V out-of-order processor
Berkeley, CA
Joined January 2016
BOOM hits a new milestone! Read about the new v3, SonicBOOM! Slightly higher IPC in SPECint17 and Coremark relative to the A72s in AWS Gravitonv1! Appearing virtually at the next CARRV workshop, this Friday May 29th. ( https://t.co/iCeaninMnC). 💥

Pretty neat to see this stuff listed on wikichip, although it is a little Spartan at the moment. 🤔 T0 and Rocket especially deserve more attention.

I reverse-engineered the register file in the Intel 8086 microprocessor. Each register cell is static, based on two inverters in a loop. Some registers are multi-ported, more complexity than I expected in a 42-year-old processor. https://t.co/qDxgIhtnXQ

New SonicBOOM features include auto-predication of short forward branches, a multi-load load/store unit, a TAGE-L (loop) predictor, RVC compressed support, RoCC co-processor support, and a FireSim/FPGA+Dromajo ISA model checker for verification (Fromajo 🧀)!
