AB  - This paper introduces PD-XML, a meta-language for describinginstruction processors in general and with an emphasison embedded processors, with the specific aim ofenabling their rapid prototyping, evaluation and eventualdesign and implementation. The proposed methodology isbased on the extensible markup language XML widely usedstructured information exchange and collaboration. PDXMLallows for both high-level and low-level architecturalspecifications required to support a toolchain for design spaceexploration. PD-XML consists of three intuitive entities,describing: (a) the storage components available in a design,(b) the instructions supported by an architecture, and(c) the resources afforded by the microarchitecture implementation.PD-XML is not specific to any one architecture,compiler or simulation environment and hence providesgreater flexibility than related machine description methodologies.We demonstrate how PD-XML can be interfaced toto existing description methodologies and tool-flows. In particular,we show how PD-XML specifications can be translatedinto appropriate machine descriptions for the parametricHPL-PD VLIW processor and for the flexible instructionprocessor approach.
