Base Integer ISA (RV32I and RV64I) Execution Model: Review Checklist

Review Checklist for Base Integer ISA (RV32I and RV64I) Execution Model.

Review checklist

Review Checklist for Base Integer ISA (RV32I and RV64I) Execution Model is anchored on Instruction count mix, branch density, and CPI breakdown by ALU, load/store, branch, and control-transfer classes.. Convert observations into mechanism-backed decisions with explicit ownership.

  • Workload scope and KPI targets are explicit.

  • Environment metadata is locked and reproducible.

  • Mechanism classification is evidence-backed.

  • Owner and rollback conditions are documented.

  • Validation matrix covers correctness, perf, and power.

  • Owners signed: CPU microarchitecture lead, compiler backend owner, verification lead, performance modeling owner, firmware and bring-up owner.
