Technical Report of IEICE 1993 Oral presentation
We developed 16-bit microcontroller M16 and its cycle-accurate software simulator.The core CPU has a 32-bit datapath and a 4- stage instruction processing pipeline.It executes register to register instructions at I cycle, instruction.Its functional design is described by a hardware description language.Based on this description,we developed the software simulator,which simulates the hardware functional behavior.The software simulator is much faster than simulation based on the hardware description language.This faster simulator made it more efficent to evaluate and tune performance of application programs on M16.
