  • Patent number: 9104827
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7971197
    Abstract: A digital computer system automatically creates an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that potentially exploits VLIW instructions, vector operations, fused operations, and specialized operations with the goal of increasing the performance of a set of applications while keeping hardware cost below a designer specified limit, or with the goal of minimizing hardware cost given a required level of performance.
