Thrust 2 will develop an integrated framework of open-source co-design tools. Thrust 2 will expand our co-design capabilities, which include tasks such as developing energy-efficient algorithms for analog computing accelerators, creating compiler frameworks for heterogeneous programming models and optimized hardware synthesis, simulating architectural performance of heterogeneous analog-digital SiPs, and analyzing the thermal effects of heterogeneous SiPs. Our contributions to the chiplet ecosystem include optimizing chiplet packaging in the co-design process, integrating 2.5D chiplets with interface generators, and improving system software for seamless integration among various components within our hardware design stack.
