The target is described at register-transfer structure level by module specifications and netlists. The program can be defined at several levels of abstraction, spanning the range from algorithmic description (e.g. PASCAL) down to RT-level behavioural description. If the program is the complete target's behavioural specification the compiler can be used to verify the structural against this behavioural description.","PeriodicalId":194206,"journal":{"name":"MICRO 20","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132049127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, as speed dictates the vertical migration of commonly executed functions to microcode, the demand for automated code generation increases.\u0000Though considerably more complex than phase-decoupled methods, phase-coupled methods for the generation of horizontal microcode have the potential to produce more highly optimized microcode. Results of the retargetable phase-coupled microcode compiler, Horizon, are presented and directions suggested.","PeriodicalId":194206,"journal":{"name":"MICRO 20","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114942729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
