During November 2024, this developer enhanced the OpenXiangShan-Nanhu/Nanhu-V5 repository by tuning the CPU fetch and predictor stack to improve performance and reliability. They enlarged the instruction fetch buffer and reduced TAGE predictor banks, using Verilog, Chisel, and Scala to optimize microarchitectural parameters for higher instruction throughput and lower misprediction rates. Additionally, they addressed a bug in TAGE table initialization by refining reset logic and valid bit handling, ensuring correct predictor startup. Their work demonstrated careful regression discipline and clear Git traceability, resulting in higher IPC, improved workload performance, and reduced energy per instruction, while lowering future maintenance risk.
