Project Snapshot
Ocelot is an open-source project that enables vector support for the BOOM core. In this generation, we achieve full RVV 1.0 support. The decoupled VPU is connected through the Open Vector Interface, which enables community collaboration. The highlight compared to Ocelot2 is the support for segmented vector memory access instructions. The implementations of these instructions are challenging due to the need of transposing the data.
