Efficient design of embedded processors plays a critical role in embedded systems design.
Processor description languages and their associated specification, exploration and rapid …

This paper presents an architecture description language (ADL) called ArchC, which is an
open-source SystemC-based language that is specialized for processor architecture …

Traditionally, instruction-set simulators (ISS's) are sequential programs running on individual
processors. Besides the advances of simulation techniques, ISS's have been mainly driven …

The Vienna Architecture Description Language (VADL) is a powerful processor description
language (PDL) that enables the concise formal specification of processor architectures. By …

Instruction set simulators are common tools used for the development of new architectures
and embedded software among countless other functions. This paper presents a framework …

An instruction set simulator is an important tool for system architects and for software
developers. However, when implementing a simulator, there are many choices which can be …

Functional simulators find widespread use as subsystems within microarchitectural
simulators. The speed of a functional simulator is strongly influenced by its implementation …

A simulator is a software that can mimic the execution of a program, which has been created
for a different platform or architecture. While a simulator can be used for example to run a …

In this paper is presented a processor centric approach for the modeling and simulation of
multi-processors platforms for SoC (MPSoC). It describes how the ArchC architecture …

The design of new architectures can be simplified with the use of retargetable instruction set
simulation tools, which can validate the decisions in the design exploration cycle with high …
