For programs to run on more than one computer, they need to be standardized. We will focus on RISC-V, which is uniquely not owned by any computer chip manufacturer.
Computers are built from chips performing simple instructions. To really understand what's going on we investigate how these chips are created.
During the summer school, we will create our own physical version of a computer chip. It will be realized in an FPGA allowing a lot of existing, simple building blocks to be hooked up to your liking. We will work together to complete the design of a fully working computer, capable of running real programs, in three days.
Starting at arrival night and throughout the summer school we will include outings, connect to local industry, and generally have a good time.
Sorry but registration is now closed!
Please find the schedule and program here. Also, this document contains additional information.
Material needed during the summer school is on this GitHub site. Note that this is an on-site event focused on hands-on labs and with seminars focused on show-and-tell.
The summer school is free, but travel and accommodation must be arranged and covered by the participants. We do not have any travel grants to offer.
