본 논문에서는 RISC Microprocessor Core 설계에 대한 기반 기술을 확립하여, GPS(Global Positioning System) 같은 Embedded 시스템 등에서 주로 사용되어 지고 있는 ARM사의 ARM7 CPU와 이진 호환이 가능한 Microprocessor를 설계하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 RISC Microprocessor의 기본적인 구조를 바탕으로 하여 ARM7 CPU와의 호환을 위하여 ARM7 CPU의 명령어들이 주어진 Clock안에 수행될 수 있도록 설계를 하였고, 여러 모듈을 원활히 공유할 수 있도록 내부에 공유 버스를 설계하였다. 설계를 위해서 Verilog-HDL(Hardware Description Language)을 사용하였으며, Microprocessor를 기술하는데 있어서 Behavioral 구조와 RTL(Register Transfer Level) 구조를 혼합하여 사용하였다. 설계된 Microprocessor의 동작은 면적과 타이밍의 최적화를 거친 후 Cwaves 툴을 사용하여 실질적인 ARM7의 명령어들을 수행하면서 검증하였다.

In this study, we designed an ARM9 compatible RISC microprocessor using VHDL. The microprocessor was designed to support Harvard architecture with separate instruction cache and data cache. The state machine was optimized for multi-cycle instructions. In addition, a data forwarding mechanism was adopted to reduce the stall cycles due to data hazards. Assembly programs were up-loaded into a ROM block for system-level simulation. Proper operation of the designed microprocessor was confirmed by investigating the contents of the internal registers as well as the RAM block. Futhermore, the simulation results clearly indicated that the operation speed of the processor designed in this study is enhanced by reducing the execution cycles required for multiplication related instructions.

We have designed a 32-bit RISC microprocessor with 16/32-bit fixed-point DSP functionality. This processor, called YRD-5, combines both general-purpose microprocessor and digital signal processor (DSP) functionality using the reduced instruction set computer (RISC) design principles. It has functional units for arithmetic operation, digital signal processing (DSP) and memory access. They operate in parallel in order to remove stall cycles after DSP and load/store instructions with one or more issue latency cycles. High performance was achieved with these parallel functional units while adopting a sophisticated 5-stage pipeline structure and an improved DSP unit.

In this paper, we proposed a new instruction set(X32Y ISA) with 3 different types of instruction mode. The proposed instruction set organizes 32-bit, 24-bit, 16-bit instruction in order to solves a problem of memory size limitation in an embedded microprocessor. We designed a 32-bit 5 stage pipeline RISC microprocessor based on the X32V ISA. To verify the proposed the X32V ISA and a microprocessor, we estimated a program code size of multimedia application programs using a X32V simulator. In result, we verified that the Light mode and the Ultra Light mode obtains 8%, 27% reduction of a program code size through comparison with the Default mode. The proposed microprocessor was verified all X32V instructions execution at Xilinx FPGA with 33MHz operating frequency,

In this paper, to design 8 bit RISC Microprocessor, a method of Clock Gating to reduce electric power consumption is proposed. In order to examine the priority, the comparison results of between a 8 bit Microprocessor which is not considered Low Power consumption and which is considered Low Power consumption using a methods of Clock Gating are represented. Within the a few periods, the results of comparing with a Microprocessor not considered the utilization of Clock Gating shows that the reduction of dynamic dissipation is minimized up to 21.56%.

For applications in multimedia to which genuine RISC microprocessors are not suitably applicable, a new generation of fast and flexible microprocessors is required. In this paper, as a technique of integrating DSP functionality in a general RISC processor, a RISC that can execute DSP extension instructions is developed to improve the performance of multimedia application execution. This processor can execute DSP instructions in parallel with the execution of ALU instructions for efficient and fast execution. In addition, the execution ability of integer instructions is improved by enhancing the RISC core itself.

This paper presents a low power 16-bit adiabatic reduced instruction set computer (RISC) microprocessor with efficient charge recovery logic (ECRL) registers. The processor consists of registers, a control block, a register file, a program counter, and an arithmetic and logical unit (ALU). Adiabatic circuits based on ECRL are designed using a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. An adiabatic latch based on ECRL is proposed for signal interfaces for the first time, and an efficient four-phase supply clock generator is designed to provide power for the adiabatic processor. A static CMOS processor with the same architecture is designed to compare the energy consumption of adiabatic and non-adiabatic microprocessors. Simulation results show that the power consumption of the adiabatic microprocessor is about 1/3 compared to that of the static CMOS microprocessor.

As the performance of microprocessor improves, the design complexity grows exponentially. Therefor, it is very important to make the bug-free model as early as possible in a design life-cycle. This paper describes the simulation-based functional verification methodology for the RTL level description model. It is performed by multi-stage verification methods using extensive hand-generated self-checking tests supplemented with random tests. This approach is opplied to the functional verification of the GPU processor of Raptor and various bugs are detected.

RISC-V is an open-source instruction set architecture, and anyone can freely design and implement a RISC-V microprocessor. This paper designes and simulates the RISC-V architecture, synthesizing it in FPGA and verifying it using logic analyzer (ILA). RISC-V core is written in SystemVerilog, which has efficient design and high reusability, and can be used in various application fields. The RISC-V core is implemented as hardware by synthesizing it on the Ultra96-V2 FPGA board using Vivado, and the accuracy and operation of the design are verified through Integrated Logic Analyzer(ILA). As a result of the experiment, it is confirmed that the designed RISC-V core performs the expected operation, and these results can contribute to the design and verification of RISC-V based systems.
