Designed and synthesized a 32-bit MIPS R10K Style Out of Order Processor that supports the RV32I subset of RISC-V ISA in SystemVerilog
Implemented various advanced features including N-way Superscalar Width, Early Tag Broadcasting, Early Branch Resolution, Tournament Branch Predictor, Load/Store Queue for Load-Store Forwarding, Non-Blocking Caches, Victim Caches, Banked Cache, Prefetcher Logic and others.
Averaged a CPI of ~1.4 on general assembly programs, achieved a clock period of 7.8ns
Developed a comprehensive SystemVerilog Assertion (SVA) suite for verification of internal data structures and cache subsystems

*Five Stage Pipeline Processor*

A project to build cheap computers under the cost of $80 as an initiative to provide underpriviledge children access to computers
How did we built it?
1. We first purchased and used Raspberry Pi 4 Model B as the computer’s main CPU.
2. We later bought second-hand monitors, microphones, keyboards, mouse, and speakers to integrate it with the Raspberry Pi computer.
3. To make the computer compatible with daily-use applications, we installed Chromium, which is a free open-source OS available on the internet, to the computer.
4. Packaging all of it together, we have a fully functional $80 computer that is capable of running basic applications such as Word, Excel, and even access the internet.
Amount of Computers Built and Donated: 4
We hope that through this initiative, we can contribute towards combating the computer iliteracy issue among underpriveledged children in our country, Malaysia

A web application that helps connecting Venture Capital with potential startups through a revolutionary AI persona matching mechanism
The application builts an AI persona for each of the users (VC/startup) based on fed-in data, and have the AI persona converse and simulate interview/pitching session to identify match and generate a more detailed analysis report.
Benefits of the Application: Higher compatibility matching between VC and startup, More efficient match-making
Front-End - React.js, Tailwind CSS, DaisyUI ; BackEnd - PythonFlask; AI Models - Gemini 1.5 Flash ; Database - SQLite3
Presentation: VSEE Presentation
FrontEnd Repo: VSEE FrontEnd
BackEnd Repo: VSEE BackEnd Repo
