Slides: [ASIP]
Application-Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP) is becoming an
essential component in System-on-Chip designs, due to its performance
advantages over fixed processors and time-to-market advantages over
hard-wired logic. This talk reviews the current ASIP technologies
developed at Tensilica, relates the ASIP features to the needs in
programmable platform designs, and concludes with some challenges for
further research.
