ABSTRACT:
A method is presented for automatically compiling a high level computer program down into an application specific integrated circuit coupled with a generic microprocessor. The original source code is written in a standard programming language such as ANSI C. Source code analysis is performed by our compiler to automatically determine which blocks of logic are most appropriate for the application specific integrated circuit and which for the generic microprocessor. The complete layout of the application specific integrated circuit is automatically generated by our compiler. Object code for the microprocessor, with custom instructions to invoke the application specific integrated circuit, is also automatically generated by our compiler.
