Worked on the antmicro/verilator repository to optimize arithmetic operations by improving the implementation of signed-base exponentiation. Addressed performance by replacing the calculation of 2 ** X with a bitwise shift (1 << X) when the base is signed and the exponent is non-zero, reducing both compute and memory usage in the arithmetic unit. Added targeted regression tests to verify the correctness of this optimization, enhancing reliability and verification coverage. The work involved C++ and Verilog, leveraging skills in bitwise operations, compiler optimization, and test driven development to ensure maintainability and safer future enhancements in the Verilator codebase.
