hands-on development of cpu- soc on FPGA using vhdl(verilog)
What you’ll learn
- Design and implementation of a counter-based alternative for dynamic instruction scheduling and dependency resolution.
- Exploration of traditional out-of-order execution techniques, including Tomasulo’s algorithm.
- Integration of processing units, memory, and I/O modules into a cohesive SoC design.
- Practical implementation of a set-associative cache system on FPGA to enhance memory access efficiency.
This course provided a comprehensive, practical approach to designing and implementing a CPU and System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture on FPGA using hardware description languages (VHDL or Verilog). The program focused on key concepts and techniques, including counter-based out-of-order processing and the design of an efficient set-associative cache. The student will learn new concepts like register alias table, reservation station, output buffers etc. the design is built incrementally starting from program memory and instruction buffers up to more sophisticated control.
Key Learning Outcomes:
Counter-Based Out-of-Order Execution:
Exploration of traditional out-of-order execution techniques, e.g Tomasulo’s algorithm.
Design and implementation of a counter-based alternative for dynamic instruction scheduling and dependency resolution.
Set-Associative Cache Design:
Understanding cache memory hierarchies and performance trade-offs.
Practical implementation of a set-associative cache system on FPGA to enhance memory access efficiency.
Course Outcomes:
Participants gained the ability to design, implement, and validate a high-performance CPU-SoC on FPGA with a focus on advanced architectural features. The course provided deep insights into out-of-order execution mechanisms and memory hierarchy optimization, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical hardware design.
Target Audience:
This course was ideal for students, engineers, and professionals interested in computer architecture, hardware design, or FPGA-based development who sought hands-on experience with cutting-edge processor and SoC design techniques.
Who this course is for:
- fpga developers
