Saman P. Amarasinghe, Anant K. Agarwal · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 2007
This report is the final technical report for the project "PCA RAW Fabric: Architectural Prototyping, Demonstration, and Evaluation." This project successfully built and demonstrated a Raw fabric system containing 4 Raw chips, with 3 streaming fabric boards. In addition to the Raw fabric hardware, the project also developed and demonstrated StreamIt: a language and compiler specifically designed for embedded, high performance stream computing on PCA architectures such as Raw. The project also implemented, analyzed and distributed a new PCA benchmark suite called Versabench and a PCA performance metric called Versatility.
