We’re excited to announce the official launch of our effcc Compiler Playground, a new, interactive software ecosystem for our processor. For the first time, developers can now sign up to experience the performance of our breakthrough processor architecture and see first-hand how it can offer orders of magnitude greater energy efficiency.
As developers ourselves, we have experienced the frustrations of compiler friction and complexity. The effcc Compiler Playground was created to offer an interactive first look at our compiler and demonstrate how code is distributed and executed on the Fabric architecture. Just write or copy and paste C code into the Playground and the effcc Compiler automatically maps your code onto the Efficient dataflow architecture, identifying the most energy-efficient and performant representation for the Efficient Fabric. The visualization shows how your code is distributed to the tiles of the Fabric - the core architecture of the processor. Additionally, the Playground highlights the execution flow of the code, cycle-to-cycle, illuminating each operation tile-to-tile.
The Playground also presents a debugger feature, which enables developers to see placement and routes at a more granular level. By zeroing in on specific tiles, users are provided with a more detailed look at how operations will function on the Efficient processor. This enables developers to quickly and intuitively optimize the performance of their code for the processor.
Finally, the Playground also offers visual energy estimates of battery life for a given application. This allows users to get a sense of the orders of magnitude improvement in energy efficiency when running an application on our Fabric processor compared to other processors available on the market today. The populated graph illustrates how much longer an application can run (in years) with our processor versus the alternatives.
We’re thrilled to share this first look at the Efficient processor architecture’s class-defining efficiency and exceptional developer experience. We’re committed to empowering our community with the necessary tools to push the boundaries of efficiency, while creating innovative, general-purpose computing applications. Please apply for our Early Access Program for the Playground to experience the benefits first hand.
