Topic description
Contemporary industrial design and verification of digital systems has strong demands on time-to-market and hence design time. Often, we hear requirements such as “1 percent better result for 1 percent longer computation”. In this situation, accelerating the computation seems desirable. Yet, current algorithms have been designed with sequential processing in mind. They usually are complex, multi-layer iterative heuristics. To accelerate such algorithms, it is necessary either find parallelism e.g., in branch-and-bound heuristics, or replace some parts of the algorithm with better parallelizable algorithms. Further, we need to investigate which architectures and what granularity suit the designed algorithm best. It is necessary to keep work-optimality in mind, as it projects itself directly into energy efficiency.

Summary
This work focuses on the design and implementation of an assembler, emulator and a debugging application for an instruction set of a simple processor, which will enable beginners to orient themselves in the field of programming in the assembly language. It allows constraining of the instruction set for exercises, in which we want to demonstrate specific attributes of assembly programming.
