Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to design and develop an automatic vehicle, fully controlled by a computer system. The vehicle designed in the present work can move in a pre-determined path and work automatically without the need of any human operator and it also controlled by human operator. Such a vehicle is capable of performing wide variety of difficult tasks in space research, domestic, scientific and industrial fields. For this purpose, an IBM compatible PC with Pentium microprocessor has been used which performed the function of the system controller. Its parallel printer port has been used as data communication port to interface the vehicle. A suitable software program has been developed for the system controller to send commands to the vehicle.

TL;DR: This paper proposes and develops an IBM PC Compatible SoC on an FPGA where hardware developers can evaluate their custom architectures and discusses how the SoC can be used for computer education.
Abstract: In order to develop high performance computer systems efficiently, environments to evaluate architectural ideas are required. Software environments such as simulators are very flexible, and thus often used. On the other hand, if the target hardware is complex and large, it is very hard to finish the simulation in practical time because of software's slow simulation speed. Thus, we develop a hardware environment for efficient evaluation of computer systems. We propose and develop an IBM PC Compatible SoC on an FPGA where hardware developers can evaluate their custom architectures. The SoC has an x86 soft core processor which can run general purpose operating systems. By making the proposed system run on FPGAs of two major vendors, i.e. Xilinx and Altera, we believe that it can be widely adopted. Besides, the SoC can be used for learning computer systems, because of its open-source policy. In this paper, we detail the design and implementation of the proposed SoC, and verify that it accurately runs some applications. As a case study to demonstrate usability of the SoC for computer research, we implement two types of L2 caches in Verilog HDL and evaluate their performance by running the SPEC CPU2000 INT benchmark suite. Additionally, we discuss how the SoC can be used for computer education.
