emu

Description

EMU-Chick System is composed of 8x nodes that are connected via RapidIO Interconnect.

Each node has:

• 8x nodelets, array of DRAMs

• A stationary core (SC)

• Migration engine, PCI-Express interfaces, and an SSD.

• 64-byte channel 64GB of DRAM, divided into eight 8-byte narrow-channel-DRAMs (NC-DRAM

Each nodelet has:

• 2x Gosamer cores (GC)

• 64 concurrent in-order, single-issue hardware threads

Access

• The path to access to each individual EMU node is: login.excl.ornl.gov ⇒ emu-gw ⇒ emu ⇒ {n0-n7}

• emu-gw is an x86-based gateway node.

• The emu is the system board controller (sbc) and individual nodes are accessed only via this host.

• Connections to emu from the emu-gw are via preset ssh keys that are created during account creation. If you can't log in, your user account/project do not have access to EMU systems.

Development Workflow

• The EMU software development kit (SDK) is installed under /usr/local/emu on emu-gw, which is an x86 based system. Compilation and simulation should be performed on this machine.

• The official EMU programming guide is located under /usr/docs.

• emu and emu-gw mount home directories, so you should have no difficulty accessing your projects. Please use $HOME (or ${HOME}) as your home directory in scripts, as the mount location of your home directory, may change.
