I surveyed various methodologies suggested for ASIP design during the last decade. Key steps in ASIP design are identified and a broad classification of the approaches reported in literature is done. A paper have been submitted to 14th international conference on VLSI Design 2001 [1]. The paper is accepted and it is going to appear in the proceedings of this conference which will be published in January 2001.

A detail version of the paper is prepared. A report is generated for embedded systems project [2]. A paper is submitted for consideration to a journal [3].

I visited university of Dortmund for   around three months. I  have  used the  parameterized   compiler  generator encc being developed there for RISC architectures. I have varied the   number of registers  for ARM7TDMI processor in the range of 3 to 8. For each case a customized compiler   is generated which was used to generate code and execution trace for selected    benchmark  programs.  I  have    collected experimental   results for  number of cycles for   execution, number   of  instructions    executed,    static information regarding spilling, power and energy    consumption in   each  case. I have analyzed  these results as well as some reasoning was found for the behavior of  observations by analyzing  applications at the source level. On the basis of these results I have prepared  a report   which is  coming as   internal technical report of department of  computer science XII,  university of  Dortmund, Germany [4]. One report is generated for our embedded system reports as well [5]. A joint paper is submitted for SCOPES 2001 to be held in Dortmund during March 2001 [6]. A paper out of this work is submitted for CODES 2001 [7].
