Abstract: This application discloses a cache address mapping method and a related device. The method includes: obtaining a binary file, the binary file including a first hot section; obtaining alignment information of a second hot section, the second hot section is a hot section that has been loaded into a cache, and the alignment information includes a set index of a last cache set occupied by the second hot section; and performing an offset operation on the first hot section based on the alignment information. According to embodiments of the present invention, a problem of a conflict miss of a cache in an N-way set associative structure can be resolved without increasing physical hardware overheads, thereby improving a cache hit rate.

Abstract: Generating a description of compiler code selector rules from an architecture description. A method comprises accessing a target architecture model written in an architecture description language (ADL) and extracting semantic information therefrom to generate a plurality of semantic statements. Rules that map from source code operations to semantic patterns are accessed. The semantic statements are searched for matches for the semantic patterns to generate mappings that serve as a description of compiler code selector rules.

Abstract: A transplantation method and a source-to-source compiler are provided. The method includes receiving common platform algorithm source code that is unrelated to a platform chip architecture, is written for an application program, and uses a general operator and a general data type; performing conversion on the general operator and the general data type in the common platform algorithm source code to obtain target platform algorithm source code that meets a target platform operation requirement; and sending the target platform algorithm source code to a target platform compiler. In the embodiments, the target platform algorithm source code that meets the target platform operation requirement can be obtained; and cross-platform source-to-source conversion can be implemented, and the problem that cross-platform source-to-source conversion cannot be implemented in the prior art is solved.

Abstract: Generating a simulator from an architecture description. A target architecture model described in an architecture description language (ADL) is accessed. The model comprises a semantic representation of an instruction set for the target architecture. The semantic representation is translated to a behavioral representation. The simulator is automatically generated from the behavioral representation. A compiler may also be generated from the semantic representation.
