For the first time advances in semiconductor manufacturing do not
lead to a corresponding increase in performance. At 65 nm and below
it is predicted that only a small portion of performance increase
will be attributed to shrinking geometries while the lion share is
due to innovative processor architectures. To substantiate this
assertion it is instructive to look at major drivers of the
semiconductor industry: wireless communications and multimedia.
Both areas are characterized by an exponentially increasing demand
of computational power, which cannot be provided in an
energy-efficient manner by traditional processor architectures.
Todaya (TM)s applications in wireless communications and multimedia
require highly specialized and optimized architectures.
New software tools and a sophisticated methodology above RTL are
required to answer the challenges of designing an optimized
application specific processor (ASIP). This book offers an
automated and fully integrated implementation flow and compares it
to common implementation practice. Case-studies emphasise that
neither the architectural advantages nor the design space of ASIPs
are sacrificed for an automated implementation. Realizing a
building block which fulfils the requirements on programmability
and computational power is now efficiently possible for the first
time.
Optimized ASIP Synthesis from Architecture Description Language
Models inspires hardware designers as well as application engineers
to design powerful ASIPs that will make their SoC designs
unique.
