RISC processor with own Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)

Course Title: Mastering RISC Processor with Custom Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)

Course Headline: Unlock the Secrets of Designing a Robust RISC ISA and Deep Dive into RISC Architecture!

Course Description:

Are you ready to embark on an enlightening journey into the world of RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) processors and their unique Instruction Set Architectures (ISAs)? In this comprehensive course, Surender R will guide you through the intricacies of building your very own ISA from scratch. You'll explore the essentials of instruction types, addressing modes, and opcode definitions, all while crafting a custom address and naming system for your instructions.

🔥 Key Topics Covered:

• Understanding RISC Features: Learn what makes RISC processors efficient and how to apply this knowledge when designing your ISA.

• Instruction Set Architecture (ISA): Dive deep into the concept of ISA, brainstorm over the types of registers, and understand how to specify addressings for each one. Discover the various instruction types such as R-type, i-type, J-type, B-type, Load type, and Store type, and their unique roles in a RISC processor.

• Defining Instruction Formats: Get hands-on with defining instruction formats for each type. From Arithmetic and Logical operations to shift instructions, understand the combination of different instructions and their positions within the ISA.

• RISC Architecture Explained: Gain insights into the architecture of a RISC processor and explore the individual modules that make up its core functionality.

• Instruction Execution Flow: Trace the journey of an instruction from the Instruction Memory Unit to the Fetch Unit, through the Decoder Unit, Register File Unit, ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit), and finally to the Data Memory. Learn how each module interacts to bring instructions to life.

• Implementation Details: Discover how the Instruction Memory Unit stores a set of instructions, including opcode, source address, destination address, and immediate data. Understand how the Fetch Unit retrieves instructions, the Decoder Unit breaks them down, and the Register File provides the necessary data for execution.

• Practical Examples: With real-world examples, see how instructions flow through the RISC processor's modules, from fetching to decoding, register file access, ALU operations, and data storage.

By the end of this course, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of RISC processors and their ISAs. You'll be equipped with the knowledge to design, implement, and optimize your own custom RISC processor, ready to tackle complex computational tasks efficiently.
