32-bit RISC CPU

An idea for a 32-bit superscalar dynamic execution CPU with support for SIMD (int and float), Floating Point, and Integer Arithmetic

Similar projects worth following
This is an architecture inspired by the PowerPC 970 with some of its complexities removed (dynamic execution more like a 7400). I left some of the branch execution to the programmer to avoid complex branch prediction, and so that the pipeline would only have to worry about data hazards. A branch's instruction is quickly decoded and used to fetch the next instruction, thus eliminating pipeline bubbles and the need for ridiculous dynamic execution to avoid such bubbles. However, this leaves a problem for the programmer because if the programmer had an instruction to compare two numbers and store the result in the flag register with a branch immediately afterwards, the branch would be looking at old data. As such, a programmer must write the comparison instruction several instructions before the branch, either with noops or arithmetic in-between. I may eventually attempt to build this in Logisim.

Hi @prijazendom,

This project is more of a hypothetical cpu than an actual cpu, so the only things that I have to give you are the picture and paragraph about it.

I hope this works.
