Abstract
Having selected a Microprogrammed Instruction Set (MIS), the need to have a method of evaluation immediately arises. There are seven methods generally used to measure the performance of the proposed architecture. These methods are: Timing, Mixes, Kernel Programs, Benchmark Programs, Synthetic Programs, Mathematical Models, and Simulation.

Automatic custom instruction identification for application-specific instruction set processors
The application-specific instruction set processors (ASIPs) have received more and more attention in recent years. ASIPs make trade-offs between flexibility and performance by extending the base instruction set of a general-purpose processor with custom ...
