ALU Bit Slice Verilog code







Bit slicing is a method of combining processor modules to multiply the word length. In a bit-sliced processor, each module contains an ALU (arithmetic-logic unit) usually capable of handling a 4-bit field. By combining two or more identical modules, it is possible to build a processor that can handle any multiple of this value, such as 8 bits, 12 bits, 16 bits, 20 bits, and so on. Each module is called a slice. The control lines for all the slices are connected effectively in parallel to share the processing "work" equally.

VERILOG CODE:
