Apple-CORE

Research

During its research phase the Apple-CORE was structured in 6 work packages: one for management, and five for deliverables. Their outcome is synthethized in the following documents, provided for historical reference and transparency:

WP2: Application Selection, evaluation and dissemination

- July 2011: Final report of benchmark evaluations in different programming paradigms
WP3: Parallelizing C compiler
- December 2008: Specification of Changes Required to the CoSy Framework
- December 2008: Report on Code Transformation from C to µTC
- September 2010: Report on 1st Version of C2µTC/SL Source to Source Compiler
- July 2011: C2µTC/SL - C Parallelizing Compiler targeting SVP Final Report
WP4: SAC data-parallel compiler
- January 2009: Implementation of a first SaC to µTC compiler
- July 2011: Data Parallelism and Functional Parallelism on the Microgrid using Single Assignment C
WP5: Operating system issues and emulation environment
- December 2008: Publication of the Microgrid emulation platform
- December 2008: Report on memory protection in microthreaded processors
- September 2009: Report on Porting Operating system to SVP/Microgrid Platform
