Custom ISA and CPU Datapath Design

Custom ISA and CPU Datapath Design

Designed and implemented a complete custom Instruction Set Architecture and CPU datapath from the ground up, demonstrating deep understanding of computer architecture fundamentals.

Key Achievements

  • Designed a custom Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) from custom logic gates for a computational application
  • Architected and implemented a CPU Datapath in Intel Quartus Prime (Fetch, Decode, Execute, Memory, Write-back)
  • Optimized instruction pipeline for performance and efficiency
  • Validated design through comprehensive simulation and testing
