The design of a 32 bit floating-point RISC microprocessor

This paper introduces the design of a 32 bits floating-point RISC Microprocessor. The architecture, basic functional units and their implementation are mainly discussed. When it is fabricated in a 1.2-/spl mu/m two-metal CMOS process, the area is 8.3 mm* 8.3 mm, and the operation frequency can reach 20 Mhz.
