pipeline

Concept

In the provided RISC-V processor-verification evidence, a pipeline is treated as a microarchitectural aspect of processor cores. Pipeline levels can be configurable, pipeline parts can be verification targets, and pipeline behavior affects coverage, custom-instruction verification, interrupt handling, and overall microarchitecture verification complexity.

Overview

In the provided evidence, pipeline refers to a processor microarchitectural structure rather than an ISA-level feature. The RISC-V verification paper evaluates a 32-bit pipelined RISC-V core from the MINRES The Good Folk (TGF) Series, and notes that the core is configurable at the microarchitectural level, including choices such as shifter implementation and pipeline levels.
