Instruction level parallelism in modern processors
Sláma, Pavel ; Levek, Vladimír (referee) ; Pristach, Marián (advisor)
Basic methodology that exploits instruction level parallelism is called pipelining and it is part of every processor for decades. The ideal pipeline increases performance and efficiency for a relatively small cost. But the real pipeline has number of limitations caused by dependencies and hazards between instructions. The aim of this thesis is to discuss techniques used to improve efficency and performance of pipelined processors, to implement selected techniques to a RISC processor model and discuss its benefits.

RISC-V microprocessor implementation with bit manipulations instruction set extension
Chovančíková, Lucie ; Bohrn, Marek (referee) ; Pristach, Marián (advisor)
This master thesis deals with the design of a RISC-V processor with bit manipulations instruction set extension. In this work, attention is paid to the description of the RISC-V instruction set and the CodAL language, which is used to describe the instruction sets and the processor architectures. The main goal of this work is to implement a model with a 32-bit address space, RISC-V basic instruction set and bit manipulations instruction set. The processor's design have two models, which one is instruction model and second is RTL model. The resulting parameters of the designed processor are measured using a Genus Synthesis Solution tool. The usability of bit manipulations based on decoder coverage is also included in the measurement.

CodAL Language Editor in Eclipse Framework
Hynek, Jiří ; Dolíhal, Luděk (referee) ; Přikryl, Zdeněk (advisor)
The Master thesis is focused on creation of an editor of CodAL language for the development toolkit of the project Lissom which is based on Eclipse framework. The goal of this thesis is to analyze the problem of editor creation and the features in existing editors which add some value to their usability. The outline of parser creation and subsequent code analysis of the source codes written into the editor is described in the theoretical part. It also explains the syntax and semantic aspects of the CodAL language. In the practical part the new CodAL language editor is designed and developed. The new CodAL language editor integrated into the development toolkit of the project Lissom is the final outcome of this thesis.

Modelling of PowerPC Processor
Blaha, Hynek ; Dolíhal, Luděk (referee) ; Masařík, Karel (advisor)
Processor architectures are becoming increasingly complex, so great emphasis is put on the automation of their desings. This bachelor thesis describes the design of the PowerPC processor architecture in Codal language. The model is created according to avaliable documentation. The functionality and efficiency of the model was verified by tests provided by research group Lissom and compared to current competitor.

Compilation of C++ Applications for Embedded Devices
Nosterský, Milan ; Přikryl, Zdeněk (referee) ; Hruška, Tomáš (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with the integrations of C++ programming language and its standard C++11 into the compiler for embedded systems. This compiler is based on LLVM project and it is generated from Codasip Studio. Codasip Studio is tool for design of the aplication specific processor cores, it is also allows generate compiler, which is based on the description of semantics section in processor's instruction set for any target processor architecture. C++ is programming language based on the C, which is extended by object oriented design and many other features. C++ language allows writing of very effective code on high level of abstraction. Funcionality of implementation is tested on testsuite in last phase of master's thesis.

Specialized Instruction Design
Koscielniak, Jan ; Zachariášová, Marcela (referee) ; Hruška, Tomáš (advisor)
The purpose of this thesis is to design and implement specialized instructions for RISC-V instruction set architecture. These instruction are used to accelerate a set of selected cryptographic algorithms. New instructions are implemented in Codasip Studio for 32bit processor model with RV32IM instruction set. Open source implementations were selected and edited to use new instructions. Instructions were used on respective algorithms, tested and profiled. The outcome of this thesis is instruction set extension, that enables up to seven times speed up, depending on used algorithm.

Processor Model Creation Using ADL Language
Ostatník, Kristián ; Zachariášová, Marcela (referee) ; Hruška, Tomáš (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to create an instruction-accurate model of ARC processor using the CodAL ADL language. The first part is dedicated to classification of processors and ADL languages. The second part describes the implementation process and the generation of C/C++ compiler for debugging and verification of the created model. At the end the created model is compared to an existing model ARC 700 on a set of benchmark tests.

Transformation of a Processor Description in CodAL to SystemC Structures
Ondruš, Tomáš ; Hynek, Jiří (referee) ; Přikryl, Zdeněk (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to create a generator of simulators and hardware representation of application specific processors in a SystemC language. An aim of the first part is to create a wrapper layer compatible with SystemC TLM 2.0 that wraps an existing simulator to avail modeling of transaction oriented systems. The second part is a generator of a hardware representation for the processor that is suitable not only for logical synthesis, but also for the simulation on a cycle accurate level. A final result is a state of the art solution comparable to existing generators.

Static Analysis of CodAL Language Source Code
Fajčík, Martin ; Přikryl, Zdeněk (referee) ; Hynek, Jiří (advisor)
The goal of bachelor's thesis is to design and implement extensions devoted to source code static analysis and automatic corrections used in CodAL language editors. This form of analysis is convenient e.g. for the source code semantic checks. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical part. Role of the theoretical part is to overview with extension development related to Eclipse platform, especially with the CodAL language editor, CodAL language itself and to define problems of this language which are suitable to be solved on the static analysis level. Practical part includes specific implementation details of the particular static analysis elements and automatic corrections. These extended CodAL language editors are available in integrated development environment Codasip Studio based first and foremost on the Eclipse platform and project CDT. Codasip Studio has been developed by company Codasip Ltd. in collaboration with Lissom research team.
