This is a class project for ECE 721: Advanced Microarchitecture, taught at NC State's ECE Department by Dr. Eric Rotenberg.
The code developed here is implemented as a "fill-in-the-blanks" module - the function definitions and expectations are provided initially.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to build and run this code without
the rest of the executable. That said, you can use the Makefile
to build the executable with make clean; make build command.
The code here implements a renamer stage in a classical out-of-order
superscalar pipeline simulator, called 721sim. This is developed
by Dr. Eric Rotenberg.
The renamer stage uses a variable sized Active List, Free List, an Architectural Map Table(AMT) and the Rename Map Table(RMT). The exception recovery and branch misprediction recovery is achieved by using a checkpoint bit vector, and Shadow Map Table, which takes a snapshop of the architectural registers(RMT) at every branch instruction.
We use the SPEC2006 Benchmark to test our simulator implementation. This simulator models the RISC-V ISA.
