摘要

This letter presents CIFER, the world's first open-source, fully cache-coherent, heterogeneous many-core, CPU-FPGA system-on-chips. The 12 nm, 16-mm2 chip integrates four 64-bit, OS-capable, RISC-V application cores; three TinyCore clusters that each contain six 32-bit, RISC-V compute cores (18 in total); and an electronic design automation-synthesized, standard-cell-based eFPGA. CIFER enables the decomposition of real-world applications and tailored execution (parallelization or specialization) per decomposed task. Our evaluation shows that: 1) the TinyCore clusters increase the throughput and energy efficiency of data- and thread-parallel tasks by up to 7.95× and 7.75× over one 64-bit core, respectively; 2) the eFPGA increases the throughput and energy efficiency of hardware-accelerable tasks by up to 9.29× and 10.62× , respectively; and 3) using coherent caches for data transfer between the processors and the eFPGA increases the throughput and energy efficiency by up to 11.1× and 10.5× , respectively.
