ABSTRACT:
An application specific processor for an application program is provided. First a software description, for example, a HDL description, of a processor is created. A user program is written using the processor's instruction set and compiled and/or assembled into object code. The software description of the processor and the object code are combined and synthesized into a logic gate circuit description, which may be implemented in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) or any other Integrated Circuit (IC) having programmable logic modules. Typically, the logic gate circuit description is optimized, hence reducing the number of logic gates and the resources needed.
