Karpentium-Processor
An accumulator based 16 bit three stage parallel processor (work in progress).
##Background
The Karpentium Processor began as a semester project for EE685 Digital Computer Structure at the University of Kentucky. With a continued interest in the topic, I've expanded the project adding more features, replacing inefficent code and optimizing my design.

FAQ
Why is it named Karpentium?
With many projects I do, I try to incorporate my nickname and online handle, 'Karp', with them. When studying the early IBM processors, I jokingly said I would design a competing processor with IBM named the Karpentium Processor. The name has stuck since.
