With RISC-V, you can design a chip’s instruction set to fit your needs, which “gives the freedom to do custom, application-driven hardware,” says Eric Mejdrich of Imec, a research institute ...

The instruction set provides the encoding and semantics, but it doesn't specify how it's implemented, leading to the plethora of RISC-V cores, chips, and boards.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a version of the 8051 microcontroller, one of the most commercially used microcontrollers in FPGA with reconfigurable instruction set.

This paper presents an instruction set simulator of a 32-bit CPU and explains its use in embedded software development. Interaction of the ISS with transaction level model of a complex peripheral ...

RISC-V is an instruction set architecture for processors that offers innovative operational mechanisms. Learn about its background and the advantages it brings.

Synopsys' ASIP design tools enable rapid exploration and optimization of processor architectures KYOCERA created a custom high-performance DSP in less than a year, saving an estimated nine months on ...

Rather than extend its 32-bit instruction set, Arm offers a clean 64-bit implementation. To accomplish this, the ARMv8 architecture uses two execution states, AArch32 and AArch64.

A big bet that RISC-V can make a dent in the AI market GlobalFoundries has acquired chip design firm MIPS, creating a company ...

Cortus released the APS23 and APS25 32-bit processor IP cores, based on v2 of the company’s instruction set. The new instruction set aims to reduce the size of a system’s instruction ...

A recent study led by Princeton University researchers, in collaboration with University of Maryland and IBM, explored the architectural design of quantum computers (QC). In a paper presented at ...
