When designing embedded systems, one needs to make decisions concerning the different components that will be included in a microprocessor. An important issue is the chip area vs. performance trade-off. In this paper we investigate the relationship between chip area and performance for superscalar microprocessors. We investigate the feasibility to obtain a suitable configuration by searching. We show that our approach gives a good configuration after 100 to 150 iterations using a simple random search algorithm. This shows the feasibility of our approach, in particular when more sophisticated search algorithms are employed as we plan in future work.
