In this paper, a microcode compiler for custom DSP-processors is presented. This tool is part of the CATHEDRAL II silicon compiler. Two optimization problems in the microcode compilation process are highlighted: microprogram scheduling and memory allocation. Algorithms to solve them, partly based on heuristics, are presented. Our compiler successfully handles repetitive programs, and is able to decide on hardware binding. In most practical examples, optimal solutions are found. Whenever possible, indications of the complexity are given.
