Research and Design of Embedded RISC-V Out-of-Order Execution Processor

In order to meet the high performance and small area requirements of embedded devices,this paper designs and implements a32-bit integrated out-of-order processor based on open source RISC-V instruction set.The processor includes the design of key technologies such as branch prediction and correlation processing,supporting basic integer operations,multiplication,division and compressed instruction set of RISC-V.It adopts a3-stage assembly line structure that is characterized by sequential single transmission,out-of-order execution,out-of-order write-back,etc.By taking the AHB bus protocol for on-chip bus and using Harvard architecture,the demands of parallel access to instructions and data can be met. The functional verification is completed on the ARTIX-7(XC7 A35 T-L1 CSG324 i)FPGA development board with a clock frequency of50 MHz,and the test power consumption is7.9 mW. The experimental results is comprehensively analyzed on the SMIC110 nm ASIC technology node,and compared with ARM Cortex-M3 processors under the same conditions. Results show that the system area is reduced by64% and power consumption reduced by0.57 mW,which demonstrates that it can be used in embedded devices that require small area and low power consumption.
