Building Asips The Mescal Methodology

An increasing number of system designers are using ASIPa?s rather than ASICa?s to implement their system solutions. Building ASIPs: The Mescal Methodology gives a simple but comprehensive methodology for the design of these application-specific instruction processors (ASIPs). The key elements of this methodology are: Judiciously using benchmarking Inclusively identifying the architectural space Efficiently describing and evaluating the ASIPs Comprehensively exploring the design space Successfully deploying the ASIP This book includes demonstrations of applications of the methodologies using the Tipi research framework as well as state-of-the-art commercial toolsets from CoWare and Tensilica.Gries, Matthias is the author of 'Building Asips The Mescal Methodology', published 2005 under ISBN 9780387260570 and ISBN 0387260579.
