The invention relates to a design of a computer architecture, in particular to a design of an architecture for an application specific instruction set processor (ASIP). The method specially includes the steps of 1), establishing a Petri net based ASIP pipeline behavior model and adopting PNML (petri net markup language) to perform normative description; 2), achieving logic synthesis after the ASIPpipeline behavior model is mapped into a state machine view through organic relationship between a Petri net and a state machine; 3), downloading hard-link logic generated by an EDA tool chain to a real physical environment SoC for detection and running, and performing performance evaluation and optimizing the pipeline design. As a quite potential system level design method, the method has the advantages that normative Petri net model semantics and behaviors are acquired, correctness of the system's functionality can be verified in expectation, the method can serve as comprehensive tool inputand system technical documentation standards, and the executable description function of the method can be expanded through third-party tools.
