A CPU (central processing unit) is the processor in a computer that orchestrates the flow of data and coordinates instructions between different computer components. The CPU ensures all calculations ...

The CPU contains a clock which, along with the CU, is used to coordinate all of the computer's components. The clock sends out a regular electrical pulse which synchronises (keeps in time) all the ...

A 5-stage pipelined CPU implementing the RV32I instruction set architecture in Verilog. This project features a classic pipeline (IF, ID, EX, MEM, WB), a full register file, ALU, control unit, and ...

The processor is the part of the computer system that handles the instructions used to ensure that hardware and software respond as expected. Processors can handle millions of instructions per second.

The central processing unit (CPU) is either a dedicated integrated circuit (IC) or intellectual property (IP) core on an IC that processes logic and math. A CPU can handle high-level provisioning of ...
