During April 2025, Alex 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 from committed instructions, and signaling when physical registers can be freed. Alex enhanced the logic to support both RR and RI instruction formats and ensured the module’s communication aligned with the Free Register List (FRL) protocol for future integration. Verification was established through a dedicated SystemVerilog testbench, demonstrating proficiency in digital logic design, processor architecture, and testbench development while delivering a focused, well-structured hardware component.

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.
