Abstract
The Very Simple CPU is an instructional aid developed to introduce students to the process of designing a microprocessor. It allows students to focus on design principles without becoming overwhelmed with complex design specifications. This paper describes the CPU and two tools used to teach students about CPU design, VHDL implementations and a Java-based simulator.
