Configurable Processors: What, Why, When, How
A new type of processor core has been getting a lot of attention lately - a processor you can tailor for a specific application. Configurable processors are much faster and can do much more than standard embedded microprocessors. Some can even replace hand-coded RTL in ASICs and SOCs. What is a configurable processor? What can configurable processors do? Why would anyone want to use this type of processor? How can a configurable processor...

Processor Designs for Embedded Systems
The IBM PC and the Macintosh, both launched around 1982, are the last well-known computer lines that were based on traditional CISC processors. That is a processor having a rich and diverse instruction set thanks to an internal read-only microprogram store for the control of its internal operation. In 1980, Patterson (UC Berkeley) and Hennessy (Stanford) proposed a different kind of computer processor, a simplified but efficiently...

Standardizing the Performance Assessment of Reconfigurable Processor Architectures
This paper presents the Reconfigurable Architecture Testing Suite, or RATES, which defines a standard for describing and using benchmarks for reconfigurable architectures. RATES is a set of functional benchmarks, is totally independent from the architecture and language, and usable on any processing platform be it general purpose or reconfigurable. It requires standard algorithms to allow comparisons amongst architectures but allows custom...

System On Chip: Taking the ''Hard'' out of Hardware
Only a short time ago building a completely customized single-chip solution for an embedded application was a risky and expensive process. A missed feature or a misread of the market requirements was more than just a headache. More than likely the product development team would be working on new resumes as their next project.

Verification of Configurable Processor Cores
This paper presents a verification methodology for configurable processor cores. The simulation-based approach uses directed di-agnostics and pseudo-random program generators both of which are tailored to specific processor instances. the system level verification process. Traditionally, the functional verification of a processor relies on
