BERI is an open-source platform to support research into the hardware-software interface. BERI allows investigation of research questions spanning historically siloed domains in systems research: computer architecture, compilers and programming languages, operating systems, and applications. We have released BERI under the BERI Hardware-Software License, a lightly modified version of the Apache Software License suitable for open-source hardware. Combined with a complete BSD- or Apache-licensed open-source software stack, including an adapation of the widely used FreeBSD operating system, Clang and LLVM compiler suite, and countless open-source applications, we are able to perform multi-dimensional systems reseach, exploring complex tradeoffs in via reproducible scientific methodology... BERI is an FPGA soft-core processor implementing a 64-bit RISC instruction set, and is implemented in the Bluespec Hardware Description Language (HDL) - a high-level functional programming language for..
