• DLXview (Site) - Interactive visual pipeline simulator using DLX instruction set; operation of pipelined processor is easier to understand than trying to imagine operation from text descriptions; modified and extended from DLXsim. Documents, downloads.
• The DLX Instruction Set, BYU Edition (Site) - Expanded annotated list. By James Archibald, Brigham Young University.
• ASPIDA Project (Site) - ASynchronous, open source, Processor IP of the DLX Architecture. Goal: show feasibility to design and deliver asynchronous open IPs in portable, re-usable way. Information, downloads. Open source hardware.

• Norman Matloff's DLX Tutorial (Site) - Information on DLX processor simulator and compiler, DLXsim, interactive program, loads assembly programs and simulates operation of computer on them, single-stepping or continuous execution.
• DLX Instruction Slides (Site) - Tables of instructions, categorized, as PDF slides. By Guy Even, Tel Aviv University.
• DLX Implementation at MSU (Site) - Documents DLX implementation by Microsystems Prototyping Laboratory (MPL), MSU Engineering Research Center; used as design driver to help validate standard cell libraries.
• David R. Kaeli, Professor (Site) - Director of Northeastern University Computer Architecture Research Laboratory, and co-author of Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach. Professional information with some links.
• Wikipedia: DLX (Site) - Encyclopedia article with links to many related topics.
• DLX Information (Site) - Documents: getting started, instruction set summary and description, simulator manual.
