    摘要: A method for permitting software optimization tools, software instrumenting tools and other analysis tools to re-write executables having mixed instructions and data uses a data structure having an entry for each multi-bit word in an executable file. Each entry of the data structure includes a number of flags that are set to identify the type of the multi-bit word in the associated line of the executable file. The types include instruction, data and unclassified. Each entry also includes a flag that indicates that the multi-bit word should not be optimized and a flag indicating that the multi-bit word is a problem branch. The no-optimize and problem branch flags may be used to identify multi-bit words that may be either branch instructions or data, and to ensure that such multi-bit words are not affected by optimization or other rewriting of the executable. In addition, a problem fall through flag is provided to maintain program flow for possible fall through code segments.

    摘要: Systems and method for automatically generating a set of shared processor datapaths from the description of the behavior of one or more ISA operations is presented. The operations may include, for example, the standard operations of a processor necessary to support an application language such as C or C++ on the ISA. Such operations, for example, may represent a configurable processor ISA. The operations may also include one or more extension operations defined by one or more designers. Thus, a description of the behaviors of the various standard and/or extension operations that compose the ISA of an instance of a standard or configurable processor is used to automatically generate a set of shared processor datapaths that implement the behavior of those operations. In addition, certain aspects may take one or more operations as well as one or more input semantics and either re-implement the input semantics automatically, or combine the input semantics with each other or with one or more other operations to automatically generate a new set of shared processor datapaths.
