Presentations from the Mont-Blanc 2020 tutorial at HiPEAC 2021

Mont-Blanc 2020 partners Atos, Arm, BSC, Jülich and SiPearl shared their experience of the HPC system simulation tools they used and contributed to in a tutorial held as part of the digital HiPEAC conference 2021, on 18 January 2021, and entitled "Testing and evaluating workloads before silicon availability - The Mont-Blanc 2020 approach for SoC codesign".

.

The slides and pre-recorded demos are available below.

The Mont-Blanc project will produce a MOOC based on this tutorial, with quizzes included. If you would like to be informed when the MOOC is available, please let us know through the contact form.
