SIMD Lane ALU
Implement one 32-bit SIMD lane with add, subtract, minimum and maximum operations.
Task
Use a 2-bit op: 00 add, 01 subtract, 10 signed min, 11 signed max.
Examples
- Implement the required behavior and preserve it under the stated control conditions.
Constraints
- Use synthesizable SystemVerilog unless this stage is verification-only.
Accelerator verification checklist
- Exercise zero, maximum positive and negative operands where signed data is used.
- Check exact bit growth and make overflow or saturation behavior intentional.
- Verify reset, enable, valid and pipeline alignment cycle by cycle.
- Send back-to-back data to confirm the advertised throughput.
