The core features include: - Multi-core execution with thread-level parallelism - Memory hierarchy with caching - Inter-core communication bus - Resource arbitration for shared resources - Complete MIPS pipeline implementation per core This architecture can be extended further with additional features like branch prediction, out-of-order execution, or more sophisticated cache policies.
