Blog - Introducing Vroom!

Executive Summary

• Very high end RISC-V implementation – goal cloud server class
• Out of order, super scalar, speculative
• RV64-IMAFDCHB(V)
• Up to 8 IPC (instructions per clock) peak, goal ~4 average on ALU heavy work
• 2-way simultaneous multithreading capable
• Multi-core
• Early (low) dhrystone numbers: ~3.6 DMips/MHz - still a work in progress. Goal ~4-5
• Currently boots Linux on an AWS-FPGA instance
• GPL3 – dual licensing possible
