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 of processors in addition to ...

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 ...

As silicon technology migrates from 0.18 micron to 0.13 micron and below, it has become possible to integrate a large number of processors and peripheral devices and more than 1 Mbyte of SRAM on a ...

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 ...
