Two processors can work better than one when they're tuned to a particular application area. Tensilica's new Xtensa-V architecture makes this possible for any number ...

Interconnect mechanisms are application-specific and represent a significant part of a design's value. Being able to capture system-level processor interactions is key to validating your system. You ...

Multiprocessing is ubiquitous in today’s electronic systems. The key benefits are faster processing due to parallel execution and improved operating characteristics such as power, thermal and latency ...

Signal processing systems often include multiple types of processors,such as Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), General Purpose Processors(GPPs), and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). These ...

MIPS32 1004K coherent processing system is a multithreaded, multiprocessor licensable IP multiprocessor platform that supports up to four single- or double-threaded processor cores connected together ...

Hardware/software co-design has been a goal for several decades, but success has been limited. More recently, progress has been made in optimizing a processor as well as the addition of accelerators ...
