"A key enabler to our solution is the use of a retargetable compiler such as Chess, which allows fast analysis of, and improvements to, a chosen ISA, followed by a fast and efficient compilation and simulation of the chosen target architecture.
In summary, the Chess tool gives the designer immediate feedback, it permits DSP software, even the critical inner loops, to be written in C, and it makes new, specialized instructions readily accessible to the C code, often without having to make any changes to that C code."
