MIAOW is an open source GPU implementation of the AMD Southern Islands ISA written in Verilog. It was developed as a research project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under Professor Karu Sankaralingam.

Use cases

• implement an open source GPU from scratch
• study GPU microarchitecture in hardware description language
• simulate or synthesize an AMD Southern Islands compatible GPU
• research GPU compute unit design
• learn GPU ISA implementation in Verilog

When to choose

• you need an open hardware GPU design based on a real ISA
• you are doing academic research on GPU microarchitecture
• you want a Verilog GPU implementation to modify or extend

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready GPU with driver support
• you need a GPU simulator rather than RTL hardware implementation
• you need modern GPU ISA support beyond Southern Islands
