Week 1 (05/31/22 - 06/05/21)

  • Met the cohort, mentor, and research group.
  • Reviewed potential subjects of research
 - Exploring CS
 - Virgil Programming Language
 - RISC-V Architecture

- Researched RISC-V as a potential processor to port OS Xinu over to.

6/1 Further research into RISC-V

- RISC-V is most applicable for small devices with it's energy conservation and great performance for strictly simple tasks.

 - RISC refers to Reduced Instruction Set Computer
 - Advantage: Open-Source license that does not require fees to use
 - Advantage: Creating a custom chip is easier
 - Advantage: Base module is extremely limited, allowing customization/optimization.
 - Advantage: Power efficient, magnitudes less energy than CISC models. 
 - Disadvantage: Not many purchasable, brand-name RISC-V processors available. 
 - Disadvantage: With only simple instructions available, complex tasks are slower.

- Conducted personal research into single-board computers, hardware architecture, and assembly language to contextualize my research of RISC-V.
