PyMTL 3 (Mamba): Python-based hardware generation, simulation, and verification framework

Project description

PyMTL 3 (Mamba)

Build Status Codecov Status

PyMTL 3 (Mamba) is the latest version of PyMTL, an open-source Python-based hardware generation, simulation, and verification framework with multi-level hardware modeling support. The original PyMTL was introduced at MICRO-47 in December, 2014. Please note that PyMTL 3 is currently beta software that is under active development and documentation is currently quite sparse.

In June 2019, Keeping Computer Hardware Fast and Furious: "PyMTL is a fantastic example of what we need to jump-start the open-source hardware ecosystem…It’s a key missing link." was featured on Cornell Research.

Tutorial

We recently hold a very high quality PyMTL 3 tutorial at FCRC 2019 with 40+ researchers attended. The code for tutorial is here https://github.com/cornell-brg/pymtl-tutorial-isca2019. The website with all slides and link to VM is here https://www.csl.cornell.edu/pymtl2019/. This 32-bit CentOS 7 virtualbox image includes pymtl3 and all the open-source EDA toolchains required to complete the tutorial.
