ALMOS distribution for the TSAR many-core

Summary

Running ALMOS on TSAR virtual prototype requires the installation of several open-source technologies like a GCC cross-compiler, SocLib? virtual prototyping library, SystemC, SystemCASS and TSAR modules. To simplify the task of building and configuring a correct development environment, ALMOS comes with a stand-alone and ready-to-use distribution.

This distribution enables you to :

• Write/port your own applications for ALMOS
• Run these applications on TSAR using different number of cores ranging from 4 to 1024 cores.

This distribution contains the following resources :

• ALMOS
  • The headers and static libraries
  • The kernel and its bootloader
• TSAR
  • Accurate Full-system simulator
  • TTY consoles and Framebufer utilities
• GCC mipsel bar-metal corss-compiler
