MetaCore : An Application Speci c DSP Development System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the MetaCore system which is an ASIP(Application-Speci c Instruction set Processor) development system targeted for DSP applications. The goal of MetaCore system is to o er an e cient design methodology meeting speci cations given as a combination of performance, cost and design turnaround time. MetaCore system consists of two major design stages: design exploration and design generation. In the design exploration stage, MetaCore system accepts a set of benchmark programs and a formal speci cation of ISA(Instruction Set Architecture), and estimates the hardware cost and performance for each hardware con guration being explored. Once a hardware con guration is chosen, the system helps generate a VLSI processor design in the form of HDL along with the application program development tools such as C compiler, assembler and instruction set simulator.

متن کاملModulo-addressing utilization in automatic software synthesis for digital signal processors
Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) have become key components for the implementation of digital signal processing systems. With DSPs moving into new application domains and the increasing complexity of modern DSP architectures, e cient programming support receives major interest. Therefore, an optimizing compiler becomes a must for future DSP-architectures. Todays DSP compilers result in signi ca...
