-- In this paper, a tool to aid pipelined processor instruction set implementation is described. The purpose of the tool is to choose from among design alternatives a design that m...
Designing ASICs for each new generation of backbone routers is a time intensive and fiscally draining process. In this paper we focus on the design of a programmable architecture...
Designers of FPGA-based systems are increasingly including soft processors—processors implemented in programmable logic—in their designs. Any combination of area, clock freque...
Although processor design verification consumes ever-increasing resources, many design defects still slip into production silicon. In a few cases, such bugs have caused expensive...

We outline a general methodology for the formal verification of pipeline conflicts in RISC cores. The different kinds of conflicts that can occur due to the simultaneous execution...
