  20. Recent activities (2): Traffic models for TG 9 applications from telecommunication and multimedia domains Based on literature 1 XML file per model Available at TUT site already Paper accepted to SoC symposium, 1-2 Nov 2011 http://soc.cs.tut.fi/2011/index.php 20

  21. Recent activities (3): Adding DRAM to TG • KTH’s DRAM model has been integrated into TG • Basic functionality already working • Tasks can now also access shared memories • Cache missses • Explicit read and write operations • Minor additions to XML, more additions to SystemC source codes 21

  22. Example of added DRAM accesses Timer 0 PE 0 DRAM PE 1 Task graph Mapping HW platform 1. Cache miss during task A execution timer 0 Processing element 0 Task A Mem region Z simulate 2 Task B loads source data from mem before ”proces-sing” DRAM Noc Task B Processing element 1 3 Task B writes result data to mem … XML … … … … 22

  23. Next actions TG+DRAM release in September TG traffic model set release in OCP-IP site in September (?) Updating the NoC bibliography on OCP-IP site, Sep-Oct Re-initiate EEMBC Multibench profiling at Univ. Boston Lead by Ajay Joshi Will take several months 23

  32. Specification WG Update Drew Wingard(Sonics Inc), July 28, 2011

  33. Specification WG 2011 Plan Status

  34. Specification WG Issues • Cache coherence extensions • No motivation to cover in CoreCreator • Barrier extensions somewhat stalled • Proposal is very complex (future-proof), but can we afford? • Performance counting parameters agreed • Nearly complete • Profile update was being driven by Vesa • Drew needs to query him for re-engagement • Bug/typo processing has slowed due to resource conflicts • Active attendance: MIPS, Renesas, TI, Sonics

  35. OCP 3.1 Drafting • Waiting on FVWG Coherence protocol checks proposal for review • Have MDWG contribution • Don’t think it includes coherence extensions?!? • Spec WG components progressing… • Estimate ready end August (vacation-dependent) • I expect we should engage tech writer for Sept. 1

  36. OCP 4.0 Concept • Add support for serialized (packet-like) interfaces while maintaining higher level semantic of OCP • Will likely be peer-to-peer (rather than master/slave) • Should be attractive in networking/communications, especially via FPGA • Should also consider how TSV interconnections change opportunity/attractiveness • However • Have not yet been successful at attracting new members to help drive the work

  39. Technical Vision WG Status Restated (Ian) • OCP-IP offering was fully defined as prioritized “whole product” at January 10, 2011 TVWG meeting • 2011 priorities were agreed by TVWG and were disseminated to all WGs for ratification and scheduling - all recommendations were reduced to agreed goals and and should be tracked as overall OCP-IP 2011 objectives • There has been a singledeliverablemade available through WGs since last GSC meeting • Memory Models - NoC BWG under GNU LGPL • There are several IMPORTANT deliverables from the WGs in the pipeline • OCP 3.1 • Debug Spec Version 2.0 • OCP 3.0 Checks and Assertions (Compliance document) • AMBA LUT • Memory Model / TG combination release • Traffic Patterns - NoC BWG • CoreAssembler • January TVWG Session focused on adding new deliverables and tuning-up schedules on current WIP. We still need to ensure we have clear and complete schedules for deliverables requested of the working groups.

  41. Action Item Review

  42. Action Item Review (Ian) • See handout – OCP-IP GSC Action Items • ARM Update • Background: • Ian made new contact with Keith Clarke (August 2009) • Secured F2F Meeting with Clarke and ARM attorney (Sept 2009). Following ARM’s floundering, Ian provided OCP-IP drafted bilateral collaborative agreement. Ian supplied this agreement to ARM Oct 28 and and then long-awaited mark up / feedback • After multiple duplicated emails and conversations, received ARM feedback to our Oct 2009 agreement on Feb 17th. 2010 Collaboration agreement was officially signed end of March. • Accompanying three-way license from ARM finally delivered on May 6th. Sonics provided feedback to simple document on June 9th and we finally had this and entire agreement executed by July 30th with effective date July 15th, 2010 • We formally exchanged specification info with ARM early Aug 2010 and “LUT” was to be completed within 4 months of July 15th 2010 by Sonics. We subsequently promised ARM delivery by Feb 26, 2011. What is status of overdue LUT and what happens next to ensure publication?

  43. CoreCreator II Update Original DesignWare VIP shipping since July ’07 PR announcing availability of CoreCreator II was published on March 4, 2008 and we’re shipping OCP checker announced in PR dated November 11, 2008 Sonics’ CoreCreator II portion has shipped to 46 total companies (0 shipments since last GSC meeting).Synopsys’ DesignWare VIP CoreCreator II portion has shipped to 105 total different companies. 13 total (inc. 5 VIP shipments to new orgs), since last GSC meeting Action Item Review Cont’d (Ian) 43

  44. OCP Conductor • Started shipping in late June 2008 • Shipped complimentary licenses to 11 companies so far • Sonics • HDL Dynamics • Mentor Graphics • Imagination Technologies • Synopsys • Inventure • Olympus Digital Systems Corp. • K-Micro • Verilab, Inc. • Atomic Rules • Toshiba • 0 shipment since last GSC meeting • Article was published in 1Q09 and in our April 2010 newsletter. Made additional PR push in Tracker announcement and featured availability in CCII email blast (all occurred in Q4 2010)

  45. OCP Tracker • Started shipping October 2010 • Shipped complimentary licenses to 2 companies so far • Mentor Graphics • Toshiba • 0 new since last GSC meeting • Article was published in 1Q09 (Chip Design Magazine) and in our April newsletter • Mentions of OCP Tracker and Conductor were included in CoreCreator II email blast Q4 2010 • We have advertised Tracker / Conductor through email blast and mentioned repeatedly through other literature and in the context of CoreCreator II • Duolog have agreed to post both Conductor and Tracker on their Xuropa site to facilitate demonstrations. Given internal schedule chanllenges this at BEST looks like a 4Q11 event. 45
