Chapter 4. Architecture Description Languages
Prabhat Mishra and Nikil Dutt
Modeling plays a central role in the design automation of embedded processors. It is necessary to develop a specification language that can model complex processors at a higher level of abstraction and enable automatic analysis and generation of efficient tools and prototypes. The language should be powerful enough to capture high-level descriptions of the processor architectures. On the other hand, the language should be simple enough to allow correlation of the information between the specification and the architecture manual.
Architecture description languages (ADL) enable design automation of embedded processors as shown in Fig. 4.1. The ADL specification is used to ...
