Abstract :
This paper presents a survey on modeling issues of programmable architectures using the machine description language LISA. Various architectures presenting diverse architectural characteristics are presented and the feasibility of automatically generating simulator, assembler, linker and graphical debugger frontend discussed. The presented approach is not limited to a fixed abstraction level-case studies of the Texas Instruments C62× and C54×, the Analog Devices ADSP2101 as well as the ARM7 show the applicability of the methodology from cycle/phase to instruction accurate models
