1. A computer implemented method of generating a compiler description from an architecture description, comprising: extracting information from an architecture description describing an architecture, the extracted information including instruction latencies and data hazard information of the architecture resulting from temporal input/output behavior of instructions; transmitting instructions to present a graphical user interface; receiving, via an interaction with the graphical user interface, definitions for a plurality of abstract elements of a compiler that have no direct representative in the architecture description; extracting a mapping of compiler rules to instructions included in the architecture description; and automatically generating a compiler description of the compiler for the architecture based on the extracted information, the received definitions for the plurality of abstract elements, and the extracted mapping.

The method of claim 1 , wherein through the graphical user interface, a user specifies a stack point register and a frame pointer, the stack pointer register describes a first end of a stack of elements of the architecture and the frame pointer describes a second end of the stack of elements.
