The Berkeley Out-of-Order Machine (BOOM) is a synthesizable and parameterizable open source RV64GC RISC-V core written in the Chisel hardware construction language. While BOOM is primarily ASIC optimized, it is also usable on FPGAs. The core also supports FireSim flow to run BOOM at 90+ MHz on FPGAs on Amazon EC2 F1. Created at the University of California, Berkeley in the Berkeley Architecture Research group, its focus is to create a high performance, synthesizable, and parameterizable core for architecture research.

 

The current version of the BOOM microarchitecture (SonicBOOM, or BOOMv3) is performance competitive with commercial high-performance out-of-order cores, achieving 6.2 CoreMarks/MHz.
