Abstract

The goal of this project was to write a hardware description of a new microprocessor in a language called VHDL that can be built inside a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The processor will run real-time applications and take advantage of the programmability of FPGA hardware by implementing several functions that are typically done in software, such as task resource allocation. The description will be used to create multiple processors that function together in one FPGA.
