[llvm-dev] TTA-based Co-Design Environment (TCE) v1.19 released

[Pekka Jääskeläinen (TAU) via llvm-dev]

TTA-based Co-Design Environment (TCE) is an open application-specific
instruction-set processor (ASIP) toolset for design and programming of
customized co-processors (typically programmable accelerators). It is
based on the energy efficient Transport Triggered Architecture (TTA)
processor template.

The toolset provides a complete retargetable co-design flow from high-
level language programs down to FPGA/ASIC synthesizable processor RTL
(VHDL and Verilog generation supported) and parallel program binaries.

Processor customization points include the register files, function
units, supported operations, and the interconnection network.

This release adds support for LLVM 8 and improves the usability of the
Processor Designer tool.
