专用指令集处理器(ASIP)行为级设计方法研究

Study on Application Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP) Behavior Level Design Methodology

由专用指令集处理器(ASIP)构成的片上系统(SoC)具有高效、灵活等优点。有效的ASIP行为级设计方法对于SoC设计具有重大意义。该文对ASIP行为级设计方法进行研究,提出了一种基于体系结构描述语言(ADL)的ASIP行为级设计方法,并介绍了基于该方法的可视化ASIP行为级设计平台xptools。

Efficiency and flexibility make Application Specific Instruction-set Processor(ASIP)suited for System-on-Chip(SoC)development.An efficient ASIP behavior-level design method plays an important role in SoC design.This paper presents an application-driven Architecture Description Language(ADL)-based ASIP behavior level design method.And it also describes a visualized ASIP behavior level design platform named xptools which is based on this method.
