Worked on the OpenXiangShan/XiangShan repository, delivering modular upgrades and performance enhancements for System on Chip (SoC) configurations. Replaced legacy cache components with OpenLLC and OpenNCB modules, updating build dependencies and submodule management to support greater configurability and future optimization. Improved concurrency in the CHI-AXI bridge by tuning outstandingDepth parameters, aligning bridge parallelism with L2 MSHR and MMIO request patterns for better throughput. Enhanced debugging and observability by enabling top-down analysis and fixing CHI message routing in multi-core simulations. Utilized Makefile and Scala, applying skills in hardware design, concurrency control, and embedded systems to improve reliability and performance.
January 2025 monthly summary for OpenXiangShan/XiangShan. Delivered notable enhancements and fixes that improve observability, reliability, and performance analysis in multi-core simulations: (1) OpenLLC Top-Down Analysis Support introduced via configuration updates and debug signal enablement, expanding monitoring capabilities; (2) CHI routing fixed in multi-core scenarios by assigning unique node IDs per core, preventing simulation errors and ensuring correct message routing; (3) overall boost in debugging efficiency and performance profiling, with clearer visibility into system behavior for faster issue isolation.
