Instruction-set simulation is a well established method for a variety of uses: as tool for architecture exploration of next-generation architectures, as reference model for design verification, and as ...

In computer science, an instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer. It’s also referred to as architecture or computer architecture. Moreover, a central processing unit (CPU) ...

First, architecture basics are detailed with information on the register sets, data types, and memory and instruction formats. Next, instruction set extensions are detailed, which include Intel® ...

The open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) continues to gain momentum, but the flexibility of RISC-V creates a problem—how do you know if a RISC-V implementation fits basic standards ...

In this work, we describe a set of novel & patented techniques to achieve very high speed instruction-set simulation. Techniques include execution-based dynamic code generation, granularity of ...
