This paper discusses a description technique for various kinds of processors. This technique is based on the Symbolic Functional Description Language, which allows logic designers to describe the behavior of hardwares at the register-transfer level in the top-down approach. The SFDL has been applied to the description of the internal behavior of a microprocessor and a data-flow processor.
