Worked on the OpenXiangShan-Nanhu/Nanhu-V5 repository, focusing on CPU core and cache subsystem improvements over three months. Enhanced instruction fetch reliability by refactoring the Front-End Queue and tuning branch prediction logic, using Chisel and Verilog to streamline FTQ state and reduce mispredictions. Improved pipeline robustness by duplicating validation registers and refining ICache timing to prevent stalls during flushes, leveraging digital logic design and timing analysis. Addressed race conditions in CPU flush logic by simplifying BPU flush handling and distinguishing between IFU and backend cache flushes, which stabilized redirect behavior and improved cache coherence across diverse workloads in RISC-V architecture.
June 2025 (OpenXiangShan-Nanhu/Nanhu-V5): CPU flush logic correctness improvements focusing on reducing race conditions and invalidations during redirects. Implemented targeted fixes: removed redundant BPU flush logic in the IFU and refined ICache flush behavior to distinguish IFU vs backend paths, preserving softPrefetches during IFU redirects. Result: stabilized redirect handling, improved cache coherence, and reduced flush-related overhead across workloads.
