R32V2020 - 32-Bit RISC

• R32V2020 is a 32-bit RISC CPU.
• R32V2020 runs at 12.5 MIPS with a 50 MHz clock (4 clocks per instruction).
• R32V2020 is written in VHDL.
• R32V2020 is intended to be implemented in an FPGA.
• R32V2020 is a non-Von Neumann architecture so it may be unfamiliar at first glance.
  • Attempts to avoid the Von Neumann bottleneck by having a separate instruction memory space
