Vhdl Implementation Of A Mips-32 Pipeline Processor

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implement a basic five stage pipelined MIPS-32 CPU. Particular attention will be paid to the reduction of clock cycles for lower instruction latency as well as taking advantage of high-speed components in an attempt to reach a clock speed of at least 100 MHz. The final results allowed the CPU to be run at over 200 MHz with a very reasonable chip area of around 900,000nm2.
