OpenPiton is an open source manycore research platform and the world's first open source, general-purpose, multithreaded, manycore processor. The platform is open source from the applications running on Debian Linux at the top, all the way down to the RTL, ASIC/FPGA synthesis scripts, and ASIC backend scripts. (ASPLOS '16 Conference Paper is at http://parallel.princeton.edu/papers/openpiton-asplos16.pdf).

This talk will discuss OpenPiton's capabilities, some of the systems we have built on ASIC and FPGA using the platform, and the future direction of making it a baseline platform for manycore research in architecture, compilers, systems, networks, EDA, programming languages, and beyond.

Jonathan Balkind is a PhD Candidate at Princeton University, advised by Professor David Wentzlaff. Besides his time spent working on the OpenPiton platform, his research focuses on developing computer architectures inspired by techniques from the world of functional programming.
