Abstract
A programmed computer and method are described for generating a processor design. The method carried out by the programmed computer comprises providing an initial model for the processor, specifying a plurality of resources in terms of resource parameters and their mutual relations. Furthermore, statistics are provided indicative of the required use of the resources by a selected application. Thereafter, a reduced resource design is generated by the programmed computer by relaxing at least one resource parameter and/or limiting an amount of resources specified in the initial specification on the basis of the statistics.
