Architecture description languages, simulation, testing, application-specific
instruction set processors
The fast and accurate processor simulator is an essential tool for effective
design of modern high-performance application-specific instruction set
processors. The nowadays trend of ASIP design is focused on automatic simulator
generation based on a processor description in an architecture description
language. The simulator is used for testing and validation of designed processor
or target application. Furthermore, the simulator can produce the profiling
information. This information can aid design space exploration and the processor
and target application optimization. In this paper, we present the concept of
automatically generated just-in-time translated simulator with the profiling
capabilities. This simulator is very fast, and it is generated in a short time.
It can be even used for simulation of special applications, such as applications
with self-modifying code or applications for systems with external memories. The
experimental results can be found at the end of the paper.
