Energy-Efficient Hardware-Accelerated Synchronization for Shared-L1-Memory Multiprocessor Clusters

Abstract This paper proposes a light-weight Hardware-Accelerated Synchronization and Communication Unit (SCU) designed for shared-L1-memory multiprocessor clusters operating under energy-efficient near-threshold computing (NTC) conditions. Integrated into an eight-core RISC-V cluster, the SCU significantly
