Rocket Core
====================================
`Rocket <https://github.com/freechipsproject/rocket-chip>`__ is a 5-stage in-order scalar processor core generator, originally developed at UC Berkeley an currently supported by `SiFive <https://www.sifive.com/>`__. The `Rocket core` is used as a component within the `Rocket Chip SoC generator`. A Rocket core combined with L1 caches (data and instruction caches) form a `Rocket tile`. The `Rocket tile` is the replicable component of the `Rocket Chip SoC generator`.

The `Rocket tile` is the replicable component of the `Rocket Chip SoC generator`.
The Rocket core supports the open source RV64GC RISC-V instruction set and is written in the Chisel hardware construction language.
It has an MMU that supports page-based virtual memory, a non-blocking data cache, and a front-end with branch prediction.
