EE457 – Lab5

Lab 5

Due: See Assignments Page

See the the Labs..Lab5 subdirectory of the Shared folder

Handout: Read PDF the handout
Skeleton Files: Download the skeleton file and testbench file in the provided .zip file which contains the Out-of-order divider exercises.

In teams of 2:

Reference the Part 1 design. We encourage you to complete it but will NOT collect nor grade your solution to it. But by doing it, it will make Part 2 easier
We only grade Part 2 - ROB (Out-of-Order Execution) and not the first part (In-order execution).**
The .zip skeleton files contains many completed design files (testbench, single-divider, etc) and the OoE_Divider.v file which you need to complete. Follow the instructions in the PDF and the comments in the file itself to complete the design.
Use the information in the PDF and your knowledge of how out-of-order execution but in-order completion work to finish the design.
Use the information in the PDF to simulate your design. When you run the testbench it should log your results to a file OoE_output_results.txt (i.e. you should check this file first and compare it to OoE_golden_results.txt) then and only then do you likely need to look at waveforms to debug any errors.

Create a file with the name of you and your partner in a file names.txt.
Zip your files: names.txt, OoE_Divider.v, and a PDF of your answers to the review questions at the end of the lab in a SINGLE .ZIP file (not .bz2, not .gz, not .tar but zip) named lab5.zip.
Submit your .ZIP file on the EE 457 Brightspace site in the Lab 5 dropbox under the Labs.
