Partners from E4 and CINECA attended UNIBO’s undergraduate and graduate courses and gave a talk to the students.

The roadmap and overview of the EPI processor have been presented to students of the class “Hardware/Software Design Methodologies” of the Electrical Engineering MSc at the University of  Bologna, Italy, taught by Prof. Luca Benini.

The presentation informed the students of the opportunity to be involved in MSc thesis focused on EPI.

Philippe Notton: exclusive interview for AT

“EPI Talks” is a string of podcasts where members of the European Processor Initiative present their contributions to the development of the European low-power microprocessor. The string of podcasts will cover the different aspects of the development of the microprocessor, to name a few:

• the research of innovative methods,
• the implementation of these methods,
• the development of the programming ecosystem and applications,
• the design, bringing up and production of the microprocessor

for building a leading-edge but sustainable computing infrastructure. During the podcasts, the technological decisions taken, the achievements so far, and the expected impact of the project will be presented.

The European Processor Initiative hopes that you will enjoy the podcasts and we welcome proposals for future presentations.

The first episode of “EPI talks” focuses on the PCIe daughter board hosting the Test Chip, the EPAC and the GPP. We welcome E4 Computer Engineering’s Agnese Reina, Communication Manager and Fabrizio Magugliani, Project Manager.

The transcript to it is available for download in pdf.
