Base Integer ISA (RV32I and RV64I) Execution Model: Pitfalls and Red Flags

Pitfalls and red flags

Pitfalls and Red Flags 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.

• Tuning knobs without proving first failing mechanism.

• Ignoring privilege, trap, and memory-protection side effects.

• Mixing extension profiles across benchmark runs.

• Shipping on one benchmark uplift without stress replay.
