In a nutshell
Processor design-space exploration consists in selecting the best processor design among the zillions of possible micro-architecture variations.
This site aims at stimulating and focusing innovation by permanently comparing and ranking architecture designs, according to execution speed, power, and area performance criteria.
Researchers can upload interface-compliant and properly wrapped hardware simulators for different architecture components in order to assess their performance against other designs.
Our servers permanently perform tens of simulations in order to explore the design space; a submitted design becomes immediately part of the exploration process.
