Configurable RISC-V Softcore Processor for FPGA Implementation
1 Configurable RISC-V softcore processor for FPGA implementation Joao˜ Filipe Monteiro Rodrigues, Instituto Superior Tecnico,´ Universidade de Lisboa Abstract—Over the past years, the processor market has and development of several programming tools. The RISC-V been dominated by proprietary architectures that implement Foundation controls the RISC-V evolution, and its members instruction sets that require licensing and the payment of fees to are responsible for promoting the adoption of RISC-V and receive permission so they can be used. ARM is an example of one of those companies that sell its microarchitectures to participating in the development of the new ISA. In the list of the manufactures so they can implement them into their own members are big companies like Google, NVIDIA, Western products, and it does not allow the use of its instruction set Digital, Samsung, or Qualcomm. (ISA) in other implementations without licensing. The RISC-V The main goal of this work is the development of a RISC- instruction set appeared proposing the hardware and software V softcore processor to be implemented in an FPGA, using development without costs, through the creation of an open- source ISA. This way, it is possible that any project that im- a non-RISC-V core as the base of this architecture. The plements the RISC-V ISA can be made available open-source or proposed solution is focused on solving the problems and even implemented in commercial products. However, the RISC- limitations identified in the other RISC-V cores that were V solutions that have been developed do not present the needed analyzed in this thesis, especially in terms of the adaptability requirements so they can be included in projects, especially the and flexibility, allowing future modifications according to the research projects, because they offer poor documentation, and their performances are not suitable. -

Memory Profiling on Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
MEMORY PROFILING ON SHARED-MEMORY MULTIPROCESSORS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND THE COMMITTEE ON GRADUATE STUDIES OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Jeffrey S.

Dr. John Hennessy (Principal Advisor) I certify that I have read this dissertation and that in my opinion it is fully adequate, in scope and quality, as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Dr. Mark Horowitz I certify that I have read this dissertation and that in my opinion it is fully adequate, in scope and quality, as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Dr. Mendel Rosenblum Approved for the University Committee on Graduate Studies: iii Abstract Tuning application memory performance can be difficult on any system but is particularly so on distributed shared-memory (DSM) multiprocessors. This is due to the implicit nature of communication, the unforeseen interactions among the processors, and the long remote memory latencies. Tools, called memory profilers, that allow the user to map memory behavior back to application data structures can be invaluable aids to the programmer. Un- fortunately, memory profiling is difficult to implement efficiently since most systems lack the requisite hardware support. This dissertation introduces two techniques for efficient memory profiling, each requiring hardware support on either the processor or the system node controller. -
Risc I: a Reduced Instruction Set Vlsi Computer
RISC I: A REDUCED INSTRUCTION SET VLSI COMPUTER DAVID A. PATTERSON and CARLO H. SEQUIN Computer Science Division University of California Berkeley, California ABSTRACT to implement CISC is the best way to use this “scarce” resource. The Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) Project investigates an alternatrve to the general trend toward computers wrth increasingly complex instruction sets: With a The above findings led to the Reduced Instruction Set proper set of instructions and a corresponding architectural Computer (RISC) Project. The purpose of the project is design, a machine wrth a high effective throughput can be to explore alternatives to the general trend toward achieved. The simplicity of the instruction set and addressing architectural complexity. The hypothesis is that by modes allows most Instructions to execute in a single machine cycle, and the srmplicity of each instruction guarantees a short reducing the instruction set, VLSI architecture can be cycle time. In addition, such a machine should have a much designed that uses the scarce resources more effectively shorter design trme. than CISC. We also expect this approach to reduce design time, the number of design errors, and the This paper presents the architecture of RISC I and its novel execution time of individual instructions. hardware support scheme for procedure call/return. Overlapprng sets of regrster banks that can pass parameters directly to subrouttnes are largely responsible for the excellent Our initial version of such a computer is called RISC I. performance of RISC I. Static and dynamtc comparisons To meet our goals of simplicity and effective single-chip between this new architecture and more traditional machines implementation, we placed the following “constraints” are given. -

Problem 1: Consider these add instructions in three common ISAs. (Use the ISA manuals linked to the references page, http://www.ece.lsu.edu/ee4720/reference.html.) # MIPS64 addu r1, r2, r3 # SPARC V9 add g2, g3, g1 # PA RISC 2 add r1, r2, r3 (a) Show the encoding (binary form) for each instruction. Show the value of as many bits as possible. Codings shown below. For PA-RISC the ea, ec, and ed ¯elds are labeled e1, e2, and e3, respectively in the instruction descriptions. There is no label for the eb ¯eld in the instruction description of the add and yes it would make sense to use e0 instead of e1 but they didn't for whatever reason. opcode rs rt rd sa func MIPS64: 0 2 3 1 0 0x21 31 26 25 21 20 16 15 11 10 6 5 0 op rd op3 rs1 i asi rs2 SPARC V9: 2 1 0 2 0 0 3 31 30 29 25 24 19 18 14 13 13 12 5 4 0 OPCD r2 r1 c f ea eb ec ed d t PA-RISC 2: 2 3 2 0 0 01 1 0 00 0 1 0 5 6 10 11 15 16 18 19 19 20 21 22 22 23 23 24 25 26 26 27 31 (b) Identify the ¯eld or ¯elds in the SPARC add instruction which are the closest equivalent to MIPS' func ¯eld. -
