Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and method for automatically generating a set of shared processor datapaths from the description of the behavior of one or more ISA operations is presented. The operations may include, for example, the standard operations of a processor necessary to support an application language such as C or C++ on the ISA. Such operations, for example, may represent a configurable processor ISA. The operations may also include one or more extension operations defined by one or more designers. Thus, a description of the behaviors of the various standard and/or extension operations that compose the ISA of an instance of a standard or configurable processor is used to automatically generate a set of shared processor datapaths that implement the behavior of those operations.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for automatically generating a plurality of shared datapaths, comprising: receiving a behavior description for each of a set of operations; automatically generating the plurality of shared datapaths from a plurality of seed datapaths to implement behavior of the set of operations; and identifying common hardware resources of the plurality of shared datapaths, wherein certain datapaths of the plurality of shared datapaths are…
