Popis: The purpose of this paper is to explore the trade-offs between IPC and maximum clock frequency in an in-order processor design. This work evaluates the impact on the performance and frequency of different pipeline optimizations. We target ASIC implementation using an advanced synthesis tool-flow with modern technology libraries. As a result, we can analyze the processor’s critical paths in a representative environment. In this paper, we analyze and modify Riscy, an in-order processor, taking into account the consequences of considering the ASIC target for this design. We have achieved a frequency of 1.3GHz and 2.03 CoreMark/MHz in the EEMBC CoreMark.
