2/20/25 - 3/11/25
    - Worked on microarchitecture, deciding on VPU architecture
    - Worked on the Microarchitecture Review Presentation
    - Spent a Majority of my time looking into VPU architectures and figuring out the microarchitecture.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3/12/25 - 3/18/25

    VPU Implementation :
    -  Started with a demo VPU with 4 stages (ID, EX, WB, M)
    -  Created a Register file with 8x 32 bytes
    -  Created a Memory (BRAM buffer) to store the outputs of the VPU
    -  Started to Test implementation in ModelSim of just the VPU with different types of instructions

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3/19/25 - 4/4/25
    - Took large scale VPU and simplified it to focus on instrutions that we need. 
    - Worked on minimizing and performing instruciton tests on the VPU.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4/5/25 - 4/11/25
    - Worked on integrating the VPU into the CPU
    - Ran both arithmetic and data tests on CPU+VPU integration
    - Started to help working on the code and toolchain integration to run C Programs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4/12/25 - 4/18/25
    - Focusing on the code toolchain generation of hex and mif files.
    - Tested different codes in C to ensure a working program
    - Continue to test C program in ModelSim before final test on FPGA.
