Explore the world of purpose-built software-defined hardware using the A2Pico in this 42-minute conference talk by Oliver Schmidt at KansasFest/A24eVR 2024. Discover why alternative approaches to FPGAs are worth considering, despite FPGAs being the gold standard for software-defined hardware. Learn how the A2Pico library simplifies the process of creating custom hardware configurations using C code, enabling a more creative and accessible approach to hardware design. Examine two specific examples of purpose-built software-defined hardware: "Interrupt Inversion" and "Page Streaming." Witness a demonstration of the "Bad Apple!!" demo, showcasing the practical applications of these concepts. Gain insights into how this approach allows developers to start with a software idea and create tailored hardware solutions, opening up new possibilities for innovation in hardware design.
