I. Abstract Microprocessors consist of thousands of logic gates. By using the VHSIC hardware description language (VHDL), simulation and testing of the microprocessor is possible before manufacturing it. In this report a simple RISC microprocessor is made using VHDL. II. Introduction In this report the design of the microprocessor will be shown and the reasons why the microprocessor is designed will be explained. The problems faced and the solutions made to counter the problems will also be stated. The results of the calculations from the microprocessor will be shown. Lastly, the speed of the microprocessor will be calculated and its
