Yet, its complex components, gathering data cross-chip from many parts of the core, raise questions of how to build it into commodity cores without heavy design invasion and extensive re-engineering. We build the first full-RTL design, MEEK, into an open-source SoC, from microarchitecture and ISA to the OS and programming model. We identify and solve bottlenecks and bugs overlooked in previous work, and demonstrate that MEEK offers microsecond-level detection capacity with affordable overheads. By trading off architectural functionalities across codesigned hardware-software layers, MEEK features only light changes to a mature out-of-order superscalar core, simple coordinating software layers, and a few lines of operating-system code.
