Enabling the Design of Multicore SoCs with Application-Specific Processors
For applications requiring highly specialized processing, application-specific instruction-set processors (ASIPs) deliver greater computational efficiencies than general purpose processors and more flexibility than fixed-function RTL designs. ASIP Designer is the leading tool solution for creating ASIPs, which might be custom processors or programmable hardware accelerators that serve in next-generation SoCs, particularly where re-programmability provides a key competitive advantage. ASIP Designer enables designers to:
- Create customized processing elements that are programmable in C
- Adjust performance-sensitive algorithms without requiring silicon respins
- Differentiate products using their own proprietary algorithmic IP
- Reduce schedule risk and improve time-to-market using a proven, highly automated tool approach
