Implementation of ARM Processor

This repository contains the implementation of ARM968E-S for the Computer Architecture Lab course, supervised by Dr. Safari at the University of Tehran. The project consists of four main parts, each represented by a release in the repository:

1. Basics of ARM: The initial implementation focusing on the foundational aspects of ARM architecture.
2. Forwarding: Enhancements to the basic ARM model by incorporating data forwarding techniques to resolve data hazards.
3. SRAM Integration: Addition of SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) to the existing ARM model.
4. Cache Implementation: Final part of the project which includes the implementation of a cache memory system.

Basics of ARM

In this part, we implemented the foundational aspects of the ARM architecture.

Features

• Basic ARM instruction set
• Fundamental pipeline stages

Forwarding

In this part, we enhanced the basic ARM model by incorporating data forwarding techniques to resolve data hazards.

Features

• Implementation of data forwarding to handle data hazards
• Improved pipeline efficiency

SRAM Integration

In this part, we added SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) to the existing ARM model.

Features

• SRAM integration with the ARM model
• Memory read/write operations

Cache Implementation

In this final part, we implemented a cache memory system to further enhance the ARM model.

Features

• Cache memory hierarchy
• Cache read/write operations
• Performance improvement with caching
