Jeffery Xu developed foundational components for the CS350C-SP25/ozone-processor project, focusing on the front-end pipeline and instruction decode engine. He implemented a functioning decode path with UOP handling, FSM logic, and PC propagation, enabling robust instruction processing. His work included refactoring the branch predictor for improved reliability and enhancing build and linking stability to support reproducible development. Using SystemVerilog, C++, and Makefile, Jeffery updated memory and testbench subsystems and introduced utility helpers to streamline subsystem integration. His contributions established a scalable platform for ongoing processor architecture research, demonstrating depth in hardware design, simulation, and modern CPU microarchitecture techniques.

April 2025 monthly summary for CS350C-SP25/ozone-processor: Established a solid foundation and delivered progressive decode/front-end improvements with targeted stability work. Delivered foundational project scaffolding, a functioning Instruction Decode Engine (ID) with UOP handling and PC propagation, front-end fetch/decode readiness signaling, and a refactored branch predictor, while also hardening the build and linking process and updating memory/testbench components. These changes create a reliable, scalable platform for ongoing performance exploration and future optimizations.
