Osaka University Selects CoSy compiler development system from ACE Associated Compiler Experts bv for PEAS-III Research Project.Business/Technology Editors TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 2000 Hardware/Software Co-Design, compiler compiler Computer software that translates (compiles) source code written in a high-level language (e.g., C++) into a set of machine-language instructions that can be understood by a digital computer's CPU. generation for flexible architectures key selection criteria The latest PEAS-III development project from Osaka University Home to many elite and renowned alumni of CEOs, lawyers, doctors, scientists, bureaucrats, and a Nobel laureate, as well as to many advanced research centers, Osaka University is considered one of the most prestigious universities in Japan and Asia. will utilize advanced compiler generation technology from ACE Associated Compiler Experts bv. ACE's CoSy(R) compiler development system offers support for hardware/software co-design, especially for flexible architectures that allow a core to be adapted to meet the specific needs of the application domain. Osaka University expects that CoSy will be able to deliver a compiler generation system that easily exceeds the limits of their previous methodology, specifically in the area of hardware/software co-design. The PEAS-III project (Practical Environment for ASIP ASIP American Society for Investigative Pathology ASIP Application Specific Instruction Set Processor ASIP Aircraft Structural Integrity Program ASIP Arrow System Improvement Program (US DoD) ASIP Airborne Signals Intelligence Payload Development, ASIP stands for Application Specific Instruction set Processor Application Specific Instruction-Set Processor or (ASIP) is a methodology used in System-on-a-Chip design. It represents a compromise between ASIC and general purpose CPU. In ASIP, the instruction set provided by the core can be configured to fit the specific application. ) has been on-going for ten years. In this third stage of development, the goal is to provide a methodology to develop application domain oriented o·ri·ent n. 1. Orient The countries of Asia, especially of eastern Asia. 2. a.

Osaka University believes the design methodologies and technologies developed under the PEAS-III project are crucial to system-on-chip (SoC) design in the coming years, especially for multimedia processing and communication applications. Processor cores designed using PEAS-III will be more suitable for corresponding target applications than conventional off-the-shelf processor cores, taking the tradeoff of area, performance, and power consumption into consideration. Compiler retargeting plays a very important role for hardware/software co-design in several ways. First, a compiler for an abstract machine is used to profile application programs. Secondly, the retargetable compiler must be able to quickly and easily deliver new code for each candidate of processor core under investigation, in order to predict the performance of the candidate. Finally, once a targeted processor core design is fixed, the compiler generation system must deliver a dedicated compiler for quality code. Osaka University expects to have the first compiler generator aspect of the PEAS-III design project complete by mid- mid- pref. Middle: midbrain. 2001.
