Abstract
This paper proposes a new method to design an optimal pipelined instru ction set processor for ASIP development using a formal HW/SW codesign methodology. First, a HW/SW partitioning algorithm for selecting an o ptimal pipelined architecture is outlined. Then, an adaptive database approach is presented that enables to enhance the optimality of the de sign through very accurate estimation of the performance of a pipeline d ASIP in the HW/SW partitioning process. The experimental results sho w that the proposed method is effective and efficient.
