XiangShan
Open-source high-performance RISC-V processor
XiangShan is an open-source, high-performance RISC-V processor project that implements out-of-order superscalar cores using Chisel for hardware construction. The design targets modern performance goals—deep pipelines, speculative execution, multi-issue decode/execute, and sophisticated branch prediction—while remaining synthesizable for ASIC flows and portable to FPGAs for research. A modular microarchitecture separates frontend, backend, and memory subsystems with coherent caches and...
