[Numpy-discussion] Numpy support for Microblaze

[pnp]

Are there some steps to add support to a new cpu such as microblaze?

Regards.

I don't think we have a documented procedure for adding a new CPU 
architecture: it is not that common.


The microblaze is a soft core built in HDL, targeting an FPGA. I would 
try to break the question into three parts:


- Does the python support for the microblaze implement any the Python C-API?

- Does the C compiler for microblase support enough of the c99 language 
so that NumPy can be synthesized?


and once NumPy is running:

- Are there acceleration libraries that could supply a BLAS-like interface?


My approach would be to "make it run" then "make it fast", but I doubt 
the high-level (c) tools are up to the task of sythesizing the NumPy C 
code to HDL without alot of work.


It might be better to approach this task in a different direction: take 
one of the NumPy-like projects (CuPy might be a good starting point) and 
rewrite the C code parts in a way that can be synthesized.


Matti
