Generation of compiler description from architecture description
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of generating a compiler description from an architecture description, comprising:
- extracting, by a compiler description generator, information from an architecture description describing an architecture of an application specific instruction set processor (ASIP);
receiving, by the compiler description generator via a source different than the architecture description, definitions for a plurality of abstract elements of a compiler that have no direct representative in the architecture description, the abstract elements comprising a non-terminal representing a data path in common with a plurality of compiler instructions;
extracting, by the compiler description generator, a mapping of compiler rules to instructions included in the architecture description; and
automatically generating, by the compiler description generator, a compiler description of the compiler for the architecture of the ASIP based on the extracted information, the received definitions for the plurality of abstract elements, and the extracted mapping, wherein a compiler generator generates the compiler based on the compiler description.

Abstract
A computer implemented method of generating a compiler description from an architecture description. Information is automatically extracted from an architecture description that is usable in a description of an architecture described by the architecture description. The extracted information is imported into a program comprising a graphical user interface that accepts user provided additional information that is usable in the compiler description. User provided additional information is accessed that is usable in the compiler description. A compiler description is automatically generated for the architecture described by the architecture description, based on the automatically extracted information and the accessed user provided additional information.
