Evaluation of ASIPs Design with LISATek
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper evaluates an ASIP design methodology based on the extension of an existing instruction set and architecture described with LISA 2.0 language. The objective is to accelerate the ASIPs design process by using partially predefined, configurable RISC-like embedded processor cores that can be quickly tuned to given applications by means of ISE (Instruction Set Extension) techniques. A case study demonstrates the methodological approach for the JPEG algorithm.

Using LISATek for the Design of an ASIP Core including Floating Point Operations
Application specific instruction set processors (ASIPs) recently became more important to overcome compute bottlenecks in digital signal processing systems with tight power constraints. Within the last years commercial tools like the LISATek framework came up, that allow to design ASIP architectures by using their own description language. It shortens the design cycle dramatically compared to c...
متن کاملDistributed Simulation and Profiling of Multiprocessor Systems on a Chip
Embedded systems – multiprocessor systems on a chip with application specific instruction-set processors (ASIPs) – become indivisible part of our everyday lives. They are everywhere. Therefore, powerful and flexible way of design and simulation of these systems is needed. The simulators of ASIPs are created using an architecture description language called ISAC. In this paper, the basic concept...

Existing hardware software (HW-SW) co-design methodologies mainly focus on HW-SW co-simulation to build a virtual prototyping environment that enables software design and system verification without need of making a hardware prototype. However, it fails to reduce the gape between design productivity and system complexity. It is required to target additional design problems such as design space ...

ASIPs and reconfigurable processors are architectural choices to extend the capabilities of a given processor. ASIPs suffers from fixed hardware after design, while ASIPs and reconfigurable processors suffer from the lack of a pre-established instruction set, making it difficult to program. An intermediate solution, reconfigurable coprocessors systems (RCSs), contains dedicated hardware (coproc...

Portable consumer electronic devices, such as smart phones or tablets, play a very important role in today’s world. To well serve the portability, these kinds of devices have to satisfy rigorous requirements of small size and high energy efficiency under limited energy resources, and have to deliver a high performance at the same time. Application-specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIPs are ...
