A Simulator for Spatial Architectures

Project Organization

• spatial_simulator: This repository

  • src/noc: On-chip network simulator based on booksim.

    [email protected]:mass-spatialarch/noc.git

  • src/core: Tenstorrent-like computing cores.

    [email protected]:mass-spatialarch/core.git

Prerequisites

• cmake: version >= 3.5
• bison & flex (optional)

How to Use ?

Setup submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive --remote

Build the project:

# build
./rebuild.sh

Run the demo benchmark:

build/bin/spatialsim tasks/4-core-1-gemm/spatial_spec

Configurations of this simulator are specified in this file.

Notes

• Use git submodule update --init --recursive --remote to track submodules with the latest version.
• WARNING: The above command will NOT pull & merge submodules to their master branches, but create NULL branches instead. You should enter the submodule and create a temporal branch using git checkout -b temp to hold the commit you just pulled. You can work on this branch, and merge it to the master branch.
• Using wrapper will takes about 6% more times than directly execute the binary
