Abstract: Techniques, structures, and systems are disclosed for implementing an efficient design of computer hardware using a top-to-bottom approach. In one aspect, a method for designing a processor includes generating an initial architecture for a processor to execute algorithms, simulating execution of the algorithms by the initial architecture to determine a modification to the initial architecture, and creating a processor design based on the modification to the initial architecture. The described method for implementing a hardware design tool provides a push-button transition from high level specification for algorithms to hardware description language.
