Abstract
Designing memory subsystems for integrated circuits can be time-consuming and costly task. To reduce development time and costs, an automated system and method for designing and constructing high-speed memory operations is disclosed. The automated system accepts a set of desired memory characteristics and then methodically selects different potential memory system design types and different implementations of each memory system design type. The potential memory system design types may include traditional memory systems, optimized traditional memory systems, intelligent memory systems, and hierarchical memory systems. A selected set of proposed memory systems that meet the specified set of desired memory characteristics is output to a circuit designer. When a circuit designer selects a proposed memory system, the automated system generates a complete memory system design, a model for the memory system, and a test suite for the memory system.
