LONDON (Alliance News) - Imagination Technologies Group PLC Monday launched a new offering as part of its Imagination University programme, giving universities free and open access to a fully-validated, current generation MIPS CPU in a teaching package.
The new offering is called MIPSfpga, which is a simplified version of its MIPS microAptiv CPU core which has been configured by an academic specifically for academic use.
CPU architecture is generally taught as part of electronic engineering, computer science and computer engineering courses, and is based on MIPS or one of the other two major CPU architectures.
However, Imagination Technologies claims that until now, what's been missing from all of these courses is access to real, un-obfuscated RTL code that will enable professors and students to study and explore a real CPU.
