Abstract:
Abstract – Field programmable gate arrays are an ideal substrate for computer architecture project courses. FPGAbased processor development offers some learning opportunities that pure simulation approaches cannot rival. This paper first introduces the XSOC Project, a free kit that includes the xr16 RISC CPU core, system-on-a-chip infrastructure, peripheral cores, C compiler, and simulator. Such kits have numerous applications in a first architecture course. It then suggests that FPGA-based processors can also be applied to the study of advanced architecture topics including memory systems, multithreading, LIWs, chip multiprocessors, and architectural support for programming languages and networking.
