In many applications, it simplifies the programming model by separating computation and data movement. This paradigm opens up entirely new possibilities for efficient computation scheduling. This DMA is also controlled by a Snitch core, making the cluster’s data movement fully programmable.

To provide its worker cores with data, the cluster includes a large-throughput DMA that moves data between its tightly-coupled scratchpad and external memory. This multicore cluster couples tiny RISC-V Snitch cores with large double-precision FPUs and utilization-boosting extensions to maximize the area and energy spent on useful computation. Much of our work on high-performance systems uses the Snitch cluster. It implies that reporting a crime or other offense is the real offense-that the snitch should have kept quiet about it.Block diagram of the Snitch cluster the DMA core is CC N+1. This gives a sense of how snitch is used as an insult. Snitch is used in the phrase snitches get stitches, in which stitches refers to sutures for a wound, implying a threat of violence to anyone who informs the authorities about people who break the rules. When it’s used by kids, snitch means much the same thing as tattletale, but it’s perhaps intended to be even more insulting. That’s because they don’t want to get snitched on and caught. The person who police call an informant or an informer is called a snitch by criminals. (If someone knows it, they’re keeping their mouth shut.) In all other cases, its origin is unknown. In this last sense, it may have originated as a variant of the verb snatch. By the 1800s, it was used as a verb meaning “to inform or tattle on.” Records of it meaning “to steal” don’t appear until the early 1900s.

By the late 1700s, it had come to be used as a negative slang term for an informant. The first records of snitch comes from the late 1600s, when it referred to a nose.
