Stream processing applications such as image signal processing demand high throughput. However, customers increasingly demand runtime flexibility in their designs, which cannot b...
ASIP-based implementations constitute a key trend in SoC design enabling optimal tradeoffs between performance and flexibility. This paper details a case study of an ASIP-based im...
transistors the design of the SoC needs to be moved to a higher level of abstraction. We need to think in processors and interconnects rather than gates and wires. We discuss the n...
