Over a three-month period, contributed to the OpenXiangShan/XiangShan repository by developing eight performance-focused hardware features using Scala and C++. Work centered on backend and system design, including optimizing exception handling, freelist memory management, and load-query policies to reduce latency and improve timing reliability. Enhanced memory prefetching and sorting by introducing buffering and efficient arbitration, while also refactoring code for maintainability with updated logic operators and RegEnable usage. Improvements to control paths and replay mechanisms enabled more deterministic performance under tight timing budgets. All changes preserved external interfaces, emphasizing robust, maintainable solutions for hardware and digital logic design challenges.
June 2026: OpenXiangShan/XiangShan delivered targeted performance and maintainability improvements. Key changes include memory prefetching and sorting performance optimizations (TrainFilter reorder buffering, TwoLevelRRArbiter for TLB requests, and an optimized hwSort for small input sets), plus a code quality refactor (RegEnable usage and updated logic operators). No major bugs fixed this month. These changes improve memory throughput, reduce latency in prefetching paths, and enhance long-term maintainability to enable faster future optimizations.
