Title
EdUCAS: An In-house CI/CD Platform with Cloud FPGAs for Agilely Conducting Computer Systems Course Projects
Abstract
ABSTRACTIn recent years, there has been a rapidly growing recognition of the importance of conducting hands-on HW-SW co-design labs with real hardware (e.g., programmable logic chips named FPGAs) while studying computing curricula, especially the computer systems (CSys) courses. However, using FPGA is quite atime-consuming and error-prone process for students, and manipulating FPGA development tools and boards also distracts students and instructors. To overcome these obstacles and improve agility, we introduce an in-house platform named EdUCAS, in combination with the previously designed cloud FPGA servers for students to automatically conduct computer systems course projects. EdUCAS aims at enabling students to concentrate on their logic designs using hardware description language (e.g., Verilog HDL), without wasting useless time in FPGA tools and experimental environment.
