4. Starting code design (that is, building the application).
As you create the project, the project window opens in the IDE main window. This
project window has a Processor Expert page (Figure 5.1
). The Processor Expert Target
CPU window also appears at this time. So does the Processor Expert bean selector
window, although it is behind the Target CPU window.

When you start code design, the PEI generates commented code from the bean
settings. This code generation takes advantage of the Processor Expert CPU
knowledge system and solution bank, which consists of hand-written, tested code
optimized for efficiency.
To add new functionalities, you select and configure additional beans, then restart
code design. Another straightforward expansion of PEI code is combining other code
that you already had produced with different tools.
