ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a processor synthesis system and a processor synthesis method which enable a designer to synthesize a CPU that does not depend on a specific process technology and has the bit width customized to the requirements of the specific application. The processor synthesis method according to the present invention comprises steps of generating and outputting processor definition information to define a CPU based on primary parameters entered by the designer; generating a compiler and an assembler for generating an instruction code for the CPU defined by the processor definition information; and executing simulation using the instruction code output by the generated compiler and the assembler so as to facilitate optimization of the designed CPU and reduce development costs.
