Instruction-set simulation is a well established method for a variety of uses: as tool for architecture exploration of next-generation architectures, as reference model for design verification, and as ...

First, architecture basics are detailed with information on the register sets, data types, and memory and instruction formats. Next, instruction set extensions are detailed, which include Intel® ...

RISC-V ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) is designed in a modular way. It means that the ISA has several groups of instructions (ISA extensions) that can be enabled or disabled as needed. This allows ...
