Explore how to accelerate software and hardware co-simulation using Kubernetes (K8s) and QEMU in this informative conference talk. Learn about an open-source solution that benefits the open hardware community by running co-simulation jobs with QEMU and Verilator, connected through LibSystemCTLM-SoC. Discover how to leverage K8s to run multiple co-simulation jobs in parallel, reducing overall simulation time. Gain insights into further acceleration techniques by connecting QEMU to real FPGA cards with PCIe interface and extending the K8s scheduler to allocate FPGA resources. Understand the process of loading specific hardware logic into FPGAs using open-source Xilinx RunTime, enhancing the efficiency of software and hardware co-simulation workflows.
