| Abstract(in English) | This paper proposes a processor kernel generation method for HW/SW co-design system named SPADES. SPADES is a system to synthesize processor cores specialized in application automatically. Low cost, small area, high performance and high productivity are required for application-specific processors in embedded systems. One of the effective methods to improve the processor performance is to integrate some hardware units such as SIMD functional units, MAC functional units, hardware loop unit, addressing unit, extra data memory, and it is important to select the appropriate hardware units depending on each target application. In our work, we divide the application-specific processor into some functional parts which are customized for additional hardware units, and our method generates and merges them. The description of the processor core is composed of each description of the function parts. In the experimental results, the VHDL descriptions of the processor cores can be generated in 3 seconds. |
