Abstract
The MIMOLA design method is a method for the design of digital processors from a very high-level bevavioral specification. A key feature of this method is the synthesis of a processor from a description of programs which are expected to be typical for the applications of that processor. Design cycles, in which the designer tries to improve automatically generated hardware structures, are supported by a retargetable microcode generator and by an utilization and performance analyzer. This paper describes the design method, available software tools and some applications.
