Abstract:: Today's Application Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP) design methodology often employs centralized Architecture Description Language (ADL) processor models, from which software tools, such asCcompiler, assembler, linker, and instruction-set simulator, can be automatically generated. Among these tools, the C compiler is becoming more and more important. However, the generation of C compilers requires high-level architecture information rather than low-level details needed by simulator generation. This makes it particularly difficult to include different aspects of the target architecture into one single model, and meanwhile keeping consistency.

This paper presents a modeling style, which is able to capture high- and low-level architectural information at the same time and make it possible to drive both the C compiler and the simulator generation without sacrificing
the modeling flexibility. The proposed approach has been successfully applied to model a number of contemporary, real-world processor architectures.
