C Compilers for ASIPs

Presents a strong background and various perspectives of architecture description language (ADL)-based processor design and the retargetable compilation problem Provides the history of ADL based processor design, making the reader knowledgeable about the past research as well as the difficulties faced over time Offers an ADL based modelling formalism and corresponding implementation methods, which can be used for automatic compiler retargeting to quickly obtain compiler support for newly developed ASIPs Presents retargetable optimization techniques for common ASIP features, which can be quickly adapted to varying target processor configurations help to meet the stringent performance requirements of embedded applications Includes supplementary material: sn. pub/extras
