Chapter 16. Application Code Profiling and ISA Synthesis on MIPS32
Rainer Leupers
Based on an extensive analysis of the wireless communication application domain, in Chapter 2, Ascheid and Meyr propose an architecture description language (ADL) based design flow for ASIPs. While Chapter 4 has elaborated on ADL design issues in detail, in this chapter we focus on advanced software tools required for ADL-based ASIP architecture exploration and design.
The concept of ADL-based ASIP design is sketched in Fig. 16.1. The key is a unique “golden” processor model, described in an ADL, which drives the generation of software (SW) tools as well as hardware (HW) synthesis models. The retargetable SW tools allow us to map the application to the ASIP architecture ...
