Vsd - Riscv : Instruction Set Architecture (Isa) - Part 1B

Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs - Let's find out HOW?

What you'll learn

Understand RISC-V architecture in greater detail, and, as per speculations, this is the architecture which you will find in almost 1 trillion mobile devices

Learn how computers and processors does basic calculations

This course will help understand why RISC-V is the next big thing

This course lays the foundation to do RISC-V software basic labs

Requirements

You should have completed RISC-V ISA Part 1a online course

You should be familiar with boolean addition and subtraction concepts

You should be familiar with number systems

Description

**pre-launch with 5 videos**
This course is in continuation with my previous course "VSD - RISCV : Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) - Part 1a" which dealt with RV64I integer instructions. We also looked at a sample program coded in RISC-V assembly language and viewed the contents of all 32 registers present in RISC-V architecture. 
All concepts viewed in Part 1a form the basis of this course and viewer is expected to cover Part 1a course atleast 70%. This course deals with some advanced topics of multiply extension (RV64M) and floating point extension (RV64FD) of the RISC-V architecture - An important one needed in today's fast changing computing world. 
We also have explored some facts about hardware, which is the basis of next course (to be launched soon) where we will code the RISC-V ISA using verilog. 
So let's get started - again….Happy Learning

I would like to Thank SiFive, a company that was founded by the creators of RISC-V ISA. 
I would also like to Thank Prof. David Patterson and his book "Computer Organization And Design - RISCV edition" which immensely helped in the making of this course. 
Let's get inside computers…
