Abstract
The PDAS (Processor Design Automation System) is a new approach to design automation that uses formal methods to achieve a new level of design power and the ability to formally validate designs. The idea is to develop a design automation system which considers both microprocessor hardware design and design of the corresponding language compiler concurrently. Benchmark programs are used to motivate design decisions and optimize performance. Compiler optimizations are considered during the design of hardware. The system spans language design, compiler design, instruction set design, microarchitecture, and VLSI implementation.<>
