Abstract This paper will evaluate and analyze a general-purpose computer system that can be fully deployed throughout a company to replace an obsolete system. The computer system features an 800 MHz Pentium III processor, a new generation of motherboards that uses Intel's 820 chipset, and a new memory system called RDRAM, which was developed by Rambus, Inc. in conjuction with Intel Corporation. The paper discusses the processor's architecture and operations as well as its instruction set. The...

Abstract

Integrated Circuit design with Hardware Description Languages improves productivity and provides flexibility. A new CPU is designed with its own instruction set. Verilog HDL is used to build a behavioral model of the CPU. Validation of the model is performed using simulation. The CPU is synthesized for a Xilinx FPGA and the netlist generated in the Xilinx format.
