Description
Efficient design of embedded processors plays a critical role in embedded systems design. Processor description languages and their associated
specification, exploration and rapid prototyping methodologies are used to find the best possible design for a given set of applications
under various design constraints, such as area, power and performance.
This book is the first, comprehensive survey of modern architecture
description languages and will be an invaluable reference for embedded system architects, designers, developers, and validation engineers.
Readers will see that the use of particular architecture description languages will lead to productivity gains in designing particular
(application-specific) types of embedded processors.
