During November 2024, this developer enhanced the OpenXiangShan-Nanhu/Nanhu-V5 repository by tuning the CPU fetch and predictor stack for improved performance and reliability. They enlarged the instruction fetch buffer and optimized the TAGE predictor by reducing the number of banks, using Verilog and Chisel for hardware design. Additionally, they addressed a bug in the TAGE table initialization by refining the reset logic to exclude the valid bit from reset hit checks, ensuring correct predictor startup. Their work demonstrated strong skills in computer architecture and digital logic design, resulting in higher instruction throughput and reduced misprediction rates at startup.
