Microprocessor Synthesis

The purpose of this paper is to describe a method for translating an instruction set described in a high level language into a register-transfer structure of a microprocessor. The designer interacts with the translator through the constraints imposed on the design, and by giving the initial but not necessarily complete description of the structure. A microinstruction table, which specifies the control sequence, as well as the datapath structure is the output of the translator.
