During April 2025, Alej Byrne developed and refined a Retirement Register Alias Table (RRAT) module for the CS350C-SP25/ozone-processor repository. The RRAT manages architectural-to-physical register mappings during instruction retirement, initializing on reset, updating with committed instructions, and signaling when physical registers can be freed. Alej enhanced the logic to support both RR and RI instruction formats and prepared the module for integration with the Free Register List (FRL) by aligning communication protocols. Verification was established through a dedicated SystemVerilog testbench, demonstrating proficiency in digital logic design, processor architecture, and hardware verification within a focused, in-depth engineering effort.
Month: 2025-04 | Repository: CS350C-SP25/ozone-processor. Delivered a new RRAT (Retirement Register Alias Table) module to manage architectural-to-physical register mappings during retirement, with initialization on reset, updates from committed instructions, and signaling to free unused physical registers. Refined RRAT logic to handle RR and RI instruction formats and prepared for FRL integration through an accompanying test path. Established verification via a dedicated testbench (rrat_tb.sv) and aligned RRAT communications with FRL expectations to facilitate future integration.
