Abstract :
A superscalar processor with three execution units is described in details in this paper. The execution units are implemented using reprogrammable field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chips, allowing the user to configure them to best fit the application. Each instruction, composed of 128 bits, directly controls all the processor resources, in a horizontal microprogramming way
