Embodiment Construction

[0043] figure 1 An example workflow system for automated fabrication of ASICs from application code or algorithms is shown. First, the user generates application code or algorithms (110). This code is then provided to the architecture optimizer 112 . Architecture optimizer 112 generates an intermediate hardware representation tailored to the application code, referred to as the System, Architecture and Microarchitecture (SAMA) representation 120 which is an abstract unified representation of the ASIC. SAMA 120 is a high-level lightweight abstraction module that enables architecture optimizer 112 to optimize and generate new architectures described in SAMA 120 . SAMA 120 provides information to Data Model (DM) 130 which is an extended unified functional and physical model of the ASIC. The DM 130 receives, for example, physical raw information of ASICs such as adders and multipliers. DM 130 provides data to a tool generator 134 which drives a set of tools 136 such as compile...

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed to automatically generate a custom integrated circuit (IC) design by receiving a specification of the custom IC including computer readable code to be executed by the custom IC; generating an abstraction of the IC as a system, processor architecture and micro-architecture (SAMA) representation; providing the SAMA representation to a data model having at least an architecture optimization view, a physical design view, and a software tool view; optimizing the processor architecture by iteratively updating the SAMA representation and the data model to automatically generate a processor architecture uniquely customized to the computer readable code which satisfies one or more constraints; and synthesizing the generated architecture into a computer readable description of the custom integrated circuit for semiconductor fabrication. The foregoing can be done with no or minimal human involvement.
