SUMMARY:Wally: Bridging he CPU Education-Implementation Gap - Prof. David 
 Harris\, Harvey Mudd College

DESCRIPTION:RISC-V is a free and open computer architecture rapidly gainin
 g market share across industry and academia.  Our team has developed Wally
 \, a configurable RISC-V processor capable of scaling from a tiny embedded
  processor to a fully-featured application processor capable of booting Li
 nux on an FPGA and in simulation.  Wally is described in SystemVerilog and
  synthesizes for both ASIC and FPGA targets. We are developing a companion
  textbook teaching computer architecture by emphasizing both the general p
 rinciples and the specific Wally implementation.  We believe this is the f
 irst time a textbook fully explores all of the implementation issues neede
 d in a real system-on-chip\, from interrupts to caches to branch predictio
 n to floating-point to bus interfaces to pipeline hazards to verification 
 to benchmarking.  Wally is open-source supported by the OpenHW Group (http
 s://github.com/openhwgroup/cvw).  We hope it becomes a platform for resear
 ch and education in computer architecture.\n\nProf. David Harris is the Ha
 rvey S. Mudd Professor of Engineering Design at Harvey Mudd College.  He r
 eceived his Ph.D. from Stanford and his S.B. and M.Eng. degrees from MIT. 
  David has designed microprocessors at Intel\, Hewlett-Packard\, Sun Micro
 systems\, and elsewhere.  His research interests include microprocessors\,
  high-speed and low-power circuit design\, and computer arithmetic.  He al
 so has led teams of students building experimental aircraft\, and writes S
 outhern California hiking guidebooks.
