Designing Datapath and Control Logic for ISA Instructions

This lecture covers the design of datapath and control logic to execute all ISA instructions, including the components like PC, instruction fetch, memory, register file, ALUs, and control signals. It explains the implementation options for control logic using combinational and sequential logic, focusing on hardwired control. The lecture also delves into ALU control, immediate extension, and the single-cycle hardwired control structure. Additionally, it discusses the performance analysis of a single-cycle microarchitecture, highlighting the limitations and inefficiencies of this approach.
