ABSTRACT:
A method for designing a system LSI includes the step of defining, for each of instructions of the processor, a behavior function description and an instruction description specifying the behavior function description, and the step of synthesizing the instructions by behavior synthesis to define the processor. The behavior function description and the instruction description are separately stored in a database as design resources for the next design of a system LSI. The instruction description is retrieved as accompanied by the associated behavior function description from the database.
