February 28, 2007
The Scale vector-thread microprocessor prototype, developed by a team from MIT including recent ICSI visitors Professor Krste Asanovic and his students Ronny Krashinsky and Chris Batten, was completed in February. The device was a winner in the 2007 ISSCC/DAC (International Solid State Circuits Conference/Design Automation Conference) student design contest, and will be presented at the upcoming DAC conference this summer.
