RETARGETABLE COMPILER DESIGN ISSUES
Abstract
Today, much attention is paid to the research and development of application-specific instruction set processors (ASIPs). The architecture of such processors is focused on their application and the command systems differ from each other, therefore each architecture requires its own set of developer tools like a compiler, debugger, linker, etc. The program code optimization for each ASIP also has its own specifics. At the same time, compiler development should be as fast and technologically advanced as possible in order to minimize the application delivery time (time-to-market), and make the compiled program code as reliable as possible. In this work, a comparative analysis of approaches to the retargetable compiler design is performed. The analysis of languages for the description of target platforms, which are used for automatic developer tools generation, is performed. A data-driven approach to the development of compilers, which minimizes the costs of providing support for a set of target architectures, is proposed. The possibility of using this approach for a co-design compiler and an ASIP processor or an embedded system has been substantiated.
