Hi. I've had an interest for decades in designing a microprocessor, and have been getting closer to working out a good theoretical solution to incorporate all types of processing. I've got a curiosity to find a functional specification tool, that can output the specification as C, (cpu code, GP-GPU, Open CL preferable) FPGA, ASIC, and whatever else to experiment.
I'm also looking at a better target than FPGA, as it tends to have poor price and energy to performance ratios. ASIC is too much, and nobody seems to have figured a low cost way to do samples. They used to use gate arrays years ago, which were cheaper, and less performance, but still a quantity product. I remember they were moving to techniques to wire a gate array after delivery, but I can't seem to find anything substantial out there.
Anybody know good functional description tools which can output code and designs, and faster alternative to FPGA?
Thanks.
