High-level cycle-accurate specification of microprocessors

This thesis introduces a new specification style for processor microarchitectures. My goal is to produce very simple, compact, but cycle-accurate descriptions that can be automatically simulated efficiently, in order to enable early exploration of different microarchitectures and their performanc...
