Computer Architecture Assignments

Overview

This repository contains project assignments for the Computer Architecture course focused on RISC-V architecture. The assignments provide practical experience in different aspects of computer architecture.

Projects Included

PA1 : RISC-V Binary Code

• Goal: Disassemble a binary file containing RISC-V machine code into assembly instructions.
• Input: Binary file (specified as command-line argument).
• Output: Disassembled instructions in a specified format.
• Computer Architecture PA2: Single-cycle RISC-V CPU Simulator

PA2 : Single-cycle RISC-V CPU Simulator

• Supported Instructions: Includes add, sub, addi, lw, sw, beq, jal, and more.
• Behavior:
  • Takes 2 or 3 command-line arguments for instruction and data files, and number of instructions to execute.
  • Initializes all registers to zero.

PA3 : Spike RISC-V Simulator

• Goals:
  • Find the best cache configuration using the simulator's cache simulation.
  • Implement the LRU replacement algorithm in the simulator.
• Build Steps:
  • Clone the repository and checkout version v1.1.0.
  • Modify the cachesim.cc file to implement the LRU replacement algorithm.
  • Configure and compile the project.
