This letter proposes a new framework for ASIP (Application Specific Integrated Processor) development. The system is called IDEAS (Integrated Design Environment for Application Specific Integrated Processor). IDEAS accepts a set of application programs and its expected data as input, and profiles these programs both statically and dynamically. According to the profiled results, the system decides the architecture of ASIP, and synthesizes the CPU core design of the ASIP, and generates the software development tools for the ASIP such as compiler and simulator.
