Instructli: AI RISC-V Visualization

We are building a web application called Instructli, an AI-driven learning platform for introductory computer architecture. Instructli simulates the execution of RISC-V assembly instructions, displaying the path taken through different processor components. Simulations are available for both a simple single-cycle datapath and a more realistic 5-stage pipelined datapath. What sets our project apart from existing datapath simulators is our integrated RAG chatbot, serving as a context-aware assistant that guides users through on-screen content. Students may ask questions referencing specific parts of their current simulated datapath, like why a particular path was taken, and the chatbot can provide a directed answer to guide them along. Thus, Instructli bridges the gap between abstract architectural concepts and hands-on knowledge by combining interactive visualization and intelligent guidance.
