"After an evaluation of different compiler solutions, we selected the Chess/Checkers technology of Target. In the first phase we used Target's nML processor description language and the retargetable tool suite to model our floating-point DSP architecture. We were able to tune the instruction-set architecture for better performance, using feedback from Target's retargetable compiler and simulator. In the second phase, a software development tool-kit for the DSP was generated, which Atmel can now deliver to its customers and partners."
