TDL: a hardware description language for retargetable postpass optimizations and analyses
Daniel L. Kastner · 2003
The hardware description language Tdl has been designed with the goal to generate machine-dependent postpass optimizers and analyzers from a concise specification of the target processor. Tdl is assembly-oriented and provides a generic modeling of irregular hardware constraints that are typical for many embedded processors. The generic modeling supports graph-based and search-based optimization algorithms. An important design goal of Tdl was to achieve extendibility, so that Tdl can be easily integrated in di#erent target applications.
