Implementation of 64-Bit RISC Processor Using Vedic Multiplier

Abstract: In this project, 64 bit RISC processor designed with Vedic multiplier design. Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) is a design which presents better performances, higher speed of operation and favors the smaller and simpler set of instructions. In addition to multiplier which is implemented using vedic mathematics we are also proposing an adder which is mux- based full adders for building higher bit adders in an area and speed efficient which is implemented in addition as well as for compression in vedic mathematic to obtain the output. A 64 bit RISC processor designed in this paper is capable of executing more number of instructions with simple design, using the Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) and the design is simulated in the Xilinx Vivado 2018.3. The main achievement in this work is that the multiplier unit in Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) and Multiplier and Accumulator (MAC) is implemented using Vedic Sutras. The main principle used in Vedic mathematics is to reduce the typical calculation of conventional mathematics to very simple one and hence reduce the overall computational complexity. Vedic Multiplier design is based on “Urdhva Triyakbhyam” which is among the 16 Vedic Sutras and MUX-Based Full Adders The proposed RISC processor is very simple and capable of executing 14 instructions. The achievement in this work is that savings in power in case of MAC and ALU is achieved compared to conventional ALU and MAC respectively. Also the delay is reduced in MAC and ALU in comparison with conventional ALU and MAC correspondingly. These Vedic MAC and ALU are then integrated with other blocks in processor and 64-bit Vedic processor is developed. This reduces the delay and saves area compared to conventional processor. Hence the improvement in speed of operation, and less area utilization are the key features of designed RISC processor.
