Bridge A Retargetable Extensive Profiling Tool

Bridge: A Retargetable Extensive Proling ToolJian Chen Maurice Rabb Valerie TaylorDepartment of EECS,Northwestern University,2145 Sheridan Road,Evanston, IL 60208.E-mail: fjchen,rabb,taylorg@eecs.nwu.eduAbstractThe task of identifying an appropriate processor fora given class of applications is arduous and time con-suming, requiring access to processors and extensivestudy of the processor architecture and organization.In this paper, we describe Bridge, a retargetable prol-ing tool that attempts to ease the aforementioned task.Currently, Bridge is targeted to two microcontrollers:the Motorola 68HC11 and the MicroChip PIC16C64.In analyzing Quicksort and Heapsort routines it wasfound that the HC11 uses 2.7 and 6.8 times more ex-ecution cycles, respectively, than PIC. The resourceutilization statistics were used to determine that theHC11 requires more additions for memory addressgeneration. The PIC architecture, however, is limitedto sorting 40 integers using Quicksort and 50 integersusing Heapsort, due to use of 8-bit addresses. In con-trast, the HC11 which uses 16 bit addresses, can beused to sort up to 3,000 integers.1 IntroductionThe task of identifying an appropriate processor fora given class of applications is arduous and time con-suming, requiring access to processors (which may im-ply purchase) and extensive study of the processor ar-chitecture and organization. Bridge is a retargetableproling tool which attempts to ease the aforemen-tioned task. This tool is described and used in thispaper to explain and evaluate the performance of twodierent microcontrollers executing two sorting rou-tines.During the initial stage of a system design project,generally the application requirements are known andthe system components are to be determined. Thisis especially the case for embedded system design.The system components may consist of some num-ber of processors, memory and interconnections. Theprocessor selection can be an arduous task given themultitude of availabl
