An Activity Language for the ADL Toolkit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the past decade numerous architecture description languages (ADLs) and tools have been developed [2]. Each has certain strengths, and each tends to work in isolation. A desirable goal is to find ways to combine the capabilities so that new architecture development environments can be easily developed by combining existing building blocks for architectural description, analysis, code generation, simulation, testing, etc. Such a collection of capabilities would then serve as an ADL Toolkit for building architecturebased design environments.

Automatic validation of pipeline specifications
Recent approaches on language-driven Design Space Exploration (DSE) use Architectural Description Languages (ADL) to capture the processor architecture, generate automatically a software toolkit (including compiler, simulator, and assembler) for that processor, and provide feedback to the designer on the quality of the architecture. It is important to verify the ADL description of the processor...
متن کاملAn Energy-oriented Retargetable Simulator for Instruction-Set Architecture
Retargetability is typically achieved by providing target machine information, ADL, as input. The ADL are used to specify processor and memory architectures and generate software toolkit including compiler, simulator, assembler, profiler, and debugger. Simulators are critical components of the exploration and software design toolkit for the system designer. Instruction-Set Architecture(ISA) sim...
متن کاملISE language: the ADL for Efficient Development of Cross Toolkits
Cross toolkits (assembler, linker, debugger, simulator, profiler) are widely used for software-hardware codesign; an early creation of cross toolkits is an important success factor for industrial embedded systems. At the hardware design stage systems are subject to significant design alterations including changes in the instruction set of target CPUs. This is a challenging issue for early cross...
متن کاملHDLGen: Architecture Description Language driven HDL Generation for Pipelined Processors
As embedded systems continue to face increasingly higher performance requirements, deeply pipelined processor architectures are being employed to meet desired system performance. System architects critically need modeling techniques to rapidly explore and evaluate candidate architectures based on area, clock frequency, power, and performance constraints. We present an exploration framework for ...
متن کاملCompiler-in-the-Loop ADL-driven Early Architectural Exploration
Processor architects today critically need software tools that accurately track architectural changes made during exploration, and provide fast and quantitative feedback for each design point. Indeed, Design Space Exploration (DSE) without the compiler-in-the-loop (CIL) can be meaningless. To effectively explore the processor-memory-coprocessor design space, a system architect critically needs ...
