This work is building on results from the book named “A Pipelined Multi-core MIPS Machine: Hardware Implementation and Correctness” by M. Kovalev, S.M. Müller, and W.J. Paul, published as LNCS 9000 in 2014.



It presents, at the gate level, construction and correctness proof of a multi-core machine with pipelined processors and extensive operating system support with the following features:




• MIPS instruction set architecture (ISA) for application and for system programming




• cache coherent memory system



• store buffers in front of the data caches



• interrupts and exceptions



• memory management units (MMUs)



• pipelined processors: the classical five-stage pipeline is extended by two pipeline



stages for address translation



• local interrupt controller (ICs) supporting inter-processor interrupts (IPIs)



• I/O-interrupt controller and a disk
