In the following paper presented at FPT last year, we explain resource usage and drystone values regarding RSD and some cores.
http://sv.rsg.ci.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pdfs/Mashimo-FPT'19.pdf
Also, we plan to integrate some benchmarks into our repository, and will add such information to the documentation as well.

It looks like you only compared your CPU to BOOM and OPA? Any reason you didn't compare to in-order cores too?
Looks like you get O(2.04 DMIPS/MHz) @ O(90 MHz) with using O(15k LUTs) and O(8k FF)? I'm currently assuming you are using an Artix-7 board?
This compares to VexRISCV (which is an in order core) which gets VexRiscv linux balanced - O(1.2 DMIPS/Mhz) @ O(170 Mhz) using O(2.5k LUTs) and O(2k FF).
I think it would be really interesting to add RSD to LiteX which already supports VexRISCV (see #6) to give a more fair comparison in real world benchmarks.

The main reason is that this paper focuses on an efficient implementation of an OoO processor on FPGAs.
(To be honest, another reason was the page limit for the conference paper, and there wasn't enough time to perform thorough evaluation including evaluation compared with InO cores until the deadline ...).
Anyway, I also would like to evaluate RSD compared with other cores using more complex and real world benchmarks.

Yes.

We used ZedBoard with XC7Z020, whose FPGA part seems to correspond to Artix-7 with 53K LUTs. I'm not an FPGA expert, but one of our team members is an FPGA expert and he may provide additional information about the board.

RSD currently supports only Zynq-based platforms because it depends on an ARM processor on Zynq to load a program binary for RSD into an external memory.
I believe that both Zynq-7000 and Artix-7 are based on the Xilinx 7-series FPGA architecture and the resource comparison is fair even though one uses Zynq-7000 and the other uses Artix-7.

@msmssm I was quite suprised but it seems that Zynq-7000 can be quite faster than Artix-7 at the same speed grade.
Looking at their datasheet :
https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_sheets/ds181_Artix_7_Data_Sheet.pdf
https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_sheets/ds191-XC7Z030-XC7Z045-data-sheet.pdf
For instance the CLB Distributed RAM Switching Characteristics TSHCKO
For that timing, the slower Zynq (speed grade -1) is faster than the fastest Artix 7 (speed grade -3)
The same seems true for LUT
For bram it seems it is a bit less diverging zynq -2 ~~ Artix -3
Would need to test on a whole design to see what the average is ^^
from rsd.
I just found out that inside the same zynq family, there is 2 class of devices with radicaly different timings :
https://docs.xilinx.com/v/u/en-US/ds187-XC7Z010-XC7Z020-Data-Sheet
vs
https://docs.xilinx.com/v/u/en-US/ds191-XC7Z030-XC7Z045-data-sheet
And so the XC7Z020 devices used in the paper seems totaly equivalent to Artix 7 ones :)
my bad !

msmssm is unable to respond to this issue for the reasons stated in the email.
Thank you again for your information!

@shioyadan Thanks :)
