Hello, I am interested in developing some instructions which can do the bignum operations (like adding two operands of 1024 bit) and hence by plan to implement a simple Full Adder like this: ...

Honored ContributorHello Daixiwen,
In the Altera user manual for Avalon interface (sopc builder, not qsys), I have seen the MM interface section. There the 'readdata' and 'writedata' ports can have a data width up to 1024 bits. So does that mean the NIOS II processor (master) can write or read 1024 bit data to the slave component in 32 clock cycles, 32 bit word every clock cycle? Earlier I thought that since the data width is 1024, it might be possible to clock in/out that much data every clock! (I am dumb :( ). And does this also mean that I can have an accumulator (kind of register) in my hardware IP module which keeps sampling the write data for the entire 32 clock cycles? And for read data, which reads the 1024 bits read register, 32 bits every clock cycle, and does the same for 32 clock cycles. I sense a low throughput for performance here (but, with a proper functionality). Please correct me if my assertion is wrong. Thank You, Akhil
