Worked on the OpenXiangShan/GEM5 repository, focusing on enhancing simulation fidelity and correctness for RISC-V CPU models. Addressed critical issues in the CPU-O3 pipeline and memory subsystem by refining load-store queue handling, improving data forwarding, and increasing cache hit/miss detection accuracy. Introduced explicit sign-extension logic for the ADDIW instruction to ensure compliance with the RISC-V specification, particularly under Clang PGO builds. Emphasized code maintainability through formatting and cleanup. Leveraged C++ and deep knowledge of computer architecture, CPU simulation, and performance modeling to deliver more reliable and accurate simulation results, supporting robust validation and future optimization efforts.
July 2026: Delivered a critical correctness improvement in the GEM5 RISC-V simulator by fixing the ADDIW sign-extension handling. Replaced direct 32-bit casting with an explicit sign-extension helper to ensure proper sign propagation under Clang PGO builds, aligning 32-bit arithmetic with the RISC-V specification and improving simulation reliability for validation work.
