Summary :

In this paper, a systematic method which generates the micro-architecture of Application Specific Instruction Processor (ASIP) is proposed. Different from previous works, the data path and control path are generated from the instruction sequence which is generated by translating the compiled assembly code. A graphical representation method called Register Transfer Graph (RTG) is introduced to describe the micro-operations of instruction sequence. To achieve high performance, we perform micro-operation level scheduling which dynamically assigns the micro-operations of instruction sequence to the control steps. By transforming the architecture using synthesis parameters, design space is explored more extensively. Connection cost is minimized by removing the inefficient data transfer paths.
