cr1901somlo: Rocket is an out-of-order core, yes? Is it worth keeping FPU-less around for academic study (and to increase Fmax)?03:32

somlocr1901: good point; then, maybe, the way forward is to remove core count and mem-bus width from the variant *name*, and have them as additional parameters12:13
somloeach proper variant will have 1, 2, 4, or 8 cores, and be 1x, 2x, 4x, or 8x ( x 64 bit) mem bus width12:13
somloI can still generate all of them from a couple of nested for loops in pythondata-cpu-rocket/.../verilog/...12:14
somlobut I guess what I find most annoying is the current variant naming scheme, which is in dire need of being cleaned up :)12:14
somlocr1901: as for "out-of-order", that's not rocket -- you're probably thinking of BOOM (https://boom-core.org), which we don't (yet) have in LiteX12:49

HongweiHello, I have a question for soc design. What's the version of wishbone bus?15:20

cr1901somlo: Yes, I was thinking of BOOM16:29
cr1901For some reason I thought Rocket and BOOM were derived from the same underlying core16:29
cr1901(but maybe they're just both written in Chisel)16:30

somlocr1901: BOOM is using rocket as a starting point (or building block, or something)19:32
somlothey talk about needing "chipyard" and deploying on amazon hosted FPGAs to play with it (which to me says it's HUGE, and one would have to be a Berkeley grad student under threat of not passing their qualifiers as an incentive to work through the entire learning curve of setting it up) :P19:33
cr1901I have trouble reconciling two facts: 1. Out-of-order is complex, 2. It dates back to the 60s20:29
