VSD - RISCV : Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) - Part 1b

🎉 Pre-Launch Special: Dive into the World of RISC-V with VSD - RISCV ISA Part 1b! 🌫️

Course Overview:

🚀 Your Journey into Computing Continues...

In our previous course, "VSD - RISC-V : Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) - Part 1a," we embarked on a fascinating voyage through the RV64I integer instructions of the RISC-V architecture. We not only demystified the workings of these instructions but also witnessed a live sample program in RISC-V assembly language, exploring every nook and cranny of RISC-V's 32 registers.

Now, as we build upon that solid foundation, VSD - RISCV : Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) - Part 1b is here to illuminate the advanced concepts of the RISC-V multiply extension (RV64M) and floating point extension (RV64FD). These extensions are crucial in today's world where data processing requires not just integers but also floating-point precision for scientific calculations, multimedia applications, and more.

What You Will Learn:

🎓 Advanced Topics Covered:

• Deep dive into the multiply extension (RV64M) and its capabilities
• Exploration of the floating point extension (RV64FD), understanding how it handles real numbers with precision
• Real-world applications and use cases for these extensions

Prerequisites:

📚 Essential Knowledge from Part 1a:

• A solid understanding of at least 70% of the content covered in "VSD - RISC-V : Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) - Part 1a" is recommended to fully grasp the concepts in this course.

What's Next?

🔍 Looking Ahead: This course sets the stage for our next adventure, where we will translate the ISA into hardware using Verilog – stay tuned!
