# The PoC-Library

The PoC-Library (Pile of Cores) is a free and open-source IP core library published since 2015 under Apache License, 2.0. It offers abstraction layers like the on-chip RAM modules (OCRAM) to abstract from device technologies, architectures and vendors. Therefor, the PoC-Library is independent from ASIC or FPGA, Altera or AMD/Xilinx devices or EDA toolchain.

Thís presentation will give an overview what the PoC-Library contains and how it will progress in future.

## Selected topics

* Synchronizers * RAM abstraction layer * FIFOs * AXI components * Regression testing
