Agile Hardware Project

Concept

A Stanford-based research project whose primary goal is to facilitate rapid design space exploration for coarse-grained reconfigurable arrays (CGRAs). The challenges encountered while building compilers for its rapidly evolving target architecture motivated the development of automated methods for synthesizing instruction selection rewrite rules from RTL.

Overview

The Agile Hardware Project is a research effort based at Stanford University focused on enabling rapid architectural design space exploration. According to the FMCAD 2022 paper Synthesizing Instruction Selection Rewrite Rules from RTL using SMT, the project's primary goal is to facilitate rapid design space exploration for a coarse-grained reconfigurable array (CGRA).
