  • Abstract
    Cairo University SPARC “CUSPARC” processor is an IP embedded processor core conforming to SPARC V8 ISA. CUSPARC is fully developed at Cairo University and is the first Egyptian processor. In this paper, the ASIC Implementation and Verification of the CUSPARC processor is described at 130nm technology node. CUSPARC scores a typical clock frequency of 260MHz, power dissipation of 0.11 mW/MHz and power Efficiency of 8.78 DMIPS/mW, which makes it very suitable for embedded and real-time systems.
