We are calling for contributors. If you are interested in Ventus GPGPU, please contact yangkx20@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn

“承影”在RVV编译器工具链、验证环境开发和硬件设计方面还有很多不足，如果您有意愿参与到“承影”的开发中，欢迎在github上pull request，也欢迎联系 yangkx20@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn

目前开发中的文档手册在这里，添加了对OpenCL支持所需的改动。2.0版本架构方案尚未确定，如果您在软硬件方面有任何建议，欢迎提issue或邮件联系。

Architecture

The micro-architecture overview of Ventus(承影) is shown below. Chinese docs is here.

ISA and micro-architecture docs is here.

For ISA simulator and riscv-gnu-toolchain, see ventus-gpgpu-isa-simulator and ventus-riscv-gnu-toolchain.

OpenCL C compiler based on LLVM is developed by Terapines(兆松科技), see ventus-llvm.

Quick Start

从零开始的配置教程（中文，从WSL和IDEA安装讲起）

The tutorial of Chisel development environment configuration comes from chipsalliance/playground: chipyard in mill :P

0. Install dependencies and setup environments:

• Arch Linux pacman -Syu --noconfirm make parallel wget cmake ninja mill dtc verilator git llvm clang lld protobuf antlr4 numactl
• Nix nix-shell
• Ubuntu

apt-get install make parallel wget cmake verilator git llvm clang lld protobuf-compiler antlr4 numactl
curl -L https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/mill/releases/download/0.10.8/0.10.8 > mill && chmod +x mill

1. Init and update dependences

make init
make patch

2. IDE support make bsp # generate IDE bsp

3. to generate verilog file, use make verilog. The output file is GPGPU_axi_top.v . Notice that if you install 'mill' with 'curl', use ./mill to replace mill in Makefile commands.

4. to run tests, use make tests. Output waveform file is at test_run_dir

   Notice that current codes are not stable and there are conflicts between existing codes and testcase gaussian gemm. We are preparing new testcase format to integrate with software toolchain and please wait for our new version.

Acknowledgement

We refer to some open-source design when developing Ventus GPGPU.
