Features:
CoWare® Processor Designer is an automated, application-specific embedded processor design and optimization environment that slashes months from processor hardware design time and engineer-month from the creation of application processor-specific software development tools. download CoWare Processor Designer 2009.1. Processor Designers high degree of automation enables design teams to focus on architecture exploration and application-specific processor development, rather than on consistency checking and verification of individual tools.
Processor Designer dramatically accelerates the design of both custom processors and programmable accelerators, including the application-specific instruction set processors (ASIPs) that are increasingly essential to convergent system-on-chip (SoC) functionality. Other. Processor Designer is used to develop a wide range of processor architectures, including architectures with DSP-specific and RISC-specific features as well as SIMD and VLIW architectures.
Processor Designers generated software development environment enables the commencement of application software development prior to silicon availability, thus eradicating a common bottleneck in embedded system development. Other.
The key to Processor Designers automation is its Language for Instruction Set Architectures, LISA 2.0. download CoWare Processor Designer 2009.1. In contrast to SystemC, which has been developed for efficient specification of systems, LISA 2.0 is a processor description language that incorporates all necessary processor-specific components such as register files, pipelines, pins, memory and caches, and instructions. download CoWare Processor Designer 2009.1. It enables the efficient creation of a single golden processor specification as the source for the automatic generation of the instruction set simulator (ISS) and the complete suite of software development tools, like Assembler, Linker, Archiver and C-Compiler, and synthesizable RTL code. The development tools, together with the extensive profiling capabilities of the debugger, enable rapid analysis and exploration of the application-specific processors instruction set architecture to determine the optimal instruction set for the target application domain. Other. Processor Designer enables the designer to optimize instruction set design, processor micro-architecture and memory sub-systems, including caches.
