UTLEON3: Exploring Fine-Grain Multi-Threading in FPGAs

UTLEON3: Exploring Fine-Grain Multi-Threading in FPGAs by Martin Daněk, Leoš Kafka, Lukáš Kohout, Jaroslav Sýkora, Roman Bartosiński.

This book describes a specification, microarchitecture, VHDL implementation and evaluation of a SPARC v8 CPU with fine-grain multi-threading, called micro-threading. The CPU, named UTLEON3, is an alternative platform for exploring CPU multi-threading that is compatible with the industry-standard GRL...
