1. IRAM Test Board James Beck ( beck@cs.berkeley.edu )

2. Why Build Demo Hardware? Good proof of correct design Puts constraints on chip designers Best way to discover some things System design teaching tool Gee-whiz factor PR DARPA wants it

3. Chip Testbed Requirements Socketed IRAM chip Easy probing; debug signals available Adjustable frequency & voltage Thermal control Easy development environment

4. Marching Orders IRAM Accessible over the Web Development/test framework

5. IRAM Demo Board Block Diagram VIRAM RESET & Boot Control SDRAM Memory Chipset PCI Bus FPGA JTAG Clock
