The design of the UAL processor

This paper deals with the RISC design and the first stage evaluation of the UAL processor. UAL stands as Universal Assembly Language. The design and the implementation of the UAL processor will support and speed up the operation of the UAL-E automated environment. UAL-E is used as an environment for the translation and evaluation of assembly programs. The design of the UAL processor is done on a superscalar and pipeline configuration, and the UAL evaluation is based on a set of primitive functions such as procedure call, interrupt service, sorting, search and max, matrixes multiplication, etc. Results from the first stage evaluation of UAL in comparison with other RISC processors are also provided.
