Modeling Modern Micro-architectures using CASL

We overview CASL, the CoGenT Architecture Specification Language, a mixed behavioral-structure architecture description language designed to facilitate fast prototyping and tool generation for computer architectures with deep pipelines and complicated timing. We show how CASL can describe pipelines, dynamic information contexts, and contention using the DLX/MIPS architecture as an example.
