Course Overview

Everything you need to know about this course

This course teaches you how to design and build a 4-way set associative Virtually Indexed, Physically Tagged (VIPT) cache from scratch. The cache is specifically developed as an instruction cache for a RISC-V processor, providing practical, architecture-aligned experience.

Through structured modules, you will explore the fundamentals of a 3-stage cache pipeline, key cache design parameters in the context of RISC-V architecture, and the implementation of data and tag pipelines. The course also covers cache replacement policies, equipping you with a complete understanding of modern cache design.

By the end of this course, you will have a strong, hands-on project that enhances your resume and helps you stand out in roles related to computer architecture and hardware design.
