Abstract

Application-specificinstruction set processors used in embedded systems are highlyoptimized for given task. In this kind of processors a specificapplication runs. Therefore, a designer should have a tool whichhelps him or her in the task of processor and applicationoptimization. This tool is called profiler. It can discoverproblematic parts, such as bottleneck points, in the processor andapplication design. Then, the designer can easily find which parts ofthe processor or application should be modified, so that performancegets better or power-consumption is reduced. In this paper, a way howto generate cycle-accurate profiler for C language from a processormodel described with an architecture description language isproposed.
