基于 MADL 语言的时钟精确级仿真器生成  摘  要  随着处理器设计复杂度的增加，设计前期在系统级别进行规划对芯 片各方面性能的影响日趋增加。由于系统级设计中需要时钟精确级仿真 器(CAS)进行设计空间探索(DSE)，获得芯片各方面性能，从而帮助确定 设计方案，因此快速生成 CAS 成为芯片设计成败的关键。该文提出了 利用 MADL 语言构建设计空间探索平台的方法，具体探讨了 CAS 生成 的方法，并设计和实现了基于 ARM7 处理器的 CAS。实践证明，利用 MADL 生成 CAS，代码生成效率大大提高，且性能更加优良，能精确 的模拟出指令在每个时钟周期里在流水线上流动的情况，完全适合在芯 片设计初期的 DSE 工作。 关键词：体系结构描述语言，设计空间探索，系统级设计，时钟精确级 仿真器 MADL BASED CYCLE ACCURATED SIMULATOR GENERATION ABSTRACT As the complexity of CPU design increases, system-level design in early development stage is imposing more and more influence upon the chip performance. Therefore, generating a cycle-accurate-simulator (CAS) plays a key role in the chip design. It can help the designer explore the design space and evaluate the performance of the design. A method of building the design-space-exploration platform and generating CAS using MADL is proposed in this paper, and an implementation of CAS based on ARM7 is also given. It can be proved that using MADL we can generate CAS much easier and the performance of the CAS can be much better for it can accurately simulate the action of instruction flow in the pipeline each clock cycle..  KEY WORDS:  Architecture-Description-Language(ADL)  ， Design-Space-Exploration(DSE), Cycle-Accurate-Simulator(CAS) system lever design ， 图片目录 图 1 各种 ADL 及其功能 ························································································ 6 图 2 MADL 系统级设计流程 ··················································································· 8 图 3 OSM 模型整体结构 ·························································································· 9 图 4 OSM 示意图···································································································· 10 图 5 内存仿真模块示意图····················································································· 20 图 6 OSM 流水线建模示意图 ················································································ 24 图 7 ARM7 流水线建模图 ··············································
