The Next Step

Codeplay can get involved at an early stage of processor development to make sure that processor design is suited to C/C++ compilation. We then ask some questions to find out what is required from a compiler for your architecture. Then, we specify the requirements of a compiler and produce timescales, a development plan and costs.

The usual questions are:

• What is the architecture to be used fore?
• How do you expect software developers to write sofware for the system?
• Is it single or multi-core?
• Are the cores the same or different?
• What are the memory spaces in the system and how are they addressed?
• How long are the pipelines and instruction latencies?
• What special instructions are there? e.g. SIMD, vector manipulation, trancendental functions etc?
• What C/C++/shading language features would software developers make use of?
