Patent number: 8924898Abstract: An automated processor design tool uses a description of customized processor instruction set extensions in a standardized language to develop a configurable definition of a target instruction set, a Hardware Description Language description of circuitry necessary to implement the instruction set, and development tools such as a compiler, assembler, debugger and simulator which can be used to develop applications for the processor and to verify it. Implementation of the processor circuitry can be optimized for various criteria such as area, power consumption, speed and the like. Once a processor configuration is developed, it can be tested and inputs to the system modified to iteratively optimize the processor implementation. By providing a constrained domain of extensions and optimizations, the process can be automated to a high degree, thereby facilitating fast and reliable development.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2008Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Inventors: Earl A.

Publication number: 20110243537Abstract: A control method for an haptic device is provided with particular attention to motor control amplifiers exploiting the inate motor dynamics of DC motors. The control method encompasses a digital and analog circuit. In the digital circuit, a command voltage is determined by a digital controller utilizing sensed motion information of the haptic device and a motion command signal. In the analog circuit, an amplifier applies a voltage to an electrical DC motor. The applied voltage incorporates the determined command voltage from the digital controller and a voltage to reduce the electrical dynamics of the electrical DC motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2011Publication date: October 6, 2011Inventors: Robert P.

Patent number: 7346881Abstract: A system for adding advanced instructions to a microprocessor includes a language for formally capturing the new instructions and a method for generating hardware implementations and software tools for the extended processors. The extension language provides for additions of VLIW instructions, complex load/store instructions, more powerful description styles using functions, more powerful register operands, and a new set of built-in modules. The method is capable of generating fully-pipelined micro-architectural implementations for the new instructions in the form of synthesizable HDL descriptions which can be processed by standard CAD tools. The method is also capable of generating software components for extending software development tools for the microprocessor with new instructions.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2002Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Tensilica, Inc.Inventors: Albert R.

Patent number: 6701515Abstract: In selecting and building a processor configuration, a user creates a new set of user-defined instructions, places them in a file directory, and invokes a tool that processes the user instructions and transforms them into a form usable by the software development tools. The user then invokes the software development tools, telling the tools to dynamically use the instructions created in the new directory. In this way, the user may customize a processor configuration by adding new instructions and within minutes, be able to evaluate that feature. The user is able to keep multiple sets of potential instructions and easily switch between them when evaluating their application.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1999Date of Patent: March 2, 2004Assignee: Tensilica, Inc.Inventors: Robert P.
