Neuron
An experimental processor architecture exploring AI-oriented computing, matrix acceleration, hardware multithreading, and specialized execution.
An experimental processor architecture exploring AI-oriented computing, matrix acceleration, hardware multithreading, and specialized execution.
Neuron is a research project focused on investigating how a processor architecture can be designed around modern artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads from the ground up.
Neuron combines general-purpose CPU design with specialized hardware intended for highly parallel and matrix-heavy workloads.
Research into the Neuron execution pipeline, registers, scalar execution, SIMD, scheduling, and load/store architecture.
A dedicated matrix execution system constructed around arrays of multiply-accumulate units.
Development of the Neuron instruction set, including scalar, vector, AI, and matrix instructions.
Research into hardware multithreading and keeping execution resources productive during highly parallel workloads.
Development notes, architectural experiments, emulator results, and major Neuron milestones will appear here.
