Springer Building Asips The Mescal Methodology by Matthias Gries , Kurt Keutzer
An increasing number of system designers are using ASIP's rather than ASIC'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 benchmarkingInclusively identifying the architectural spaceEfficiently describing and evaluating the ASIPsComprehensively exploring the design spaceSuccessfully deploying the ASIPThis 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.show more and Motivation.- and Motivation.- The MESCAL Methodology for Building ASIPs.- Judiciously Using Benchmarking.- Inclusively Identifying the Architectural Space.- Efficiently Describing and Evaluating the ASIPs.- Comprehensively Exploring the Design Space.- Successfully Deploying the ASIP.- Using Commercial Tools to Apply the MESCAL Methodology for Building ASIPs.- Designing and Modeling MPSoC Processors and Communication Architectures.- Commercial Configurable Processors and the MESCAL Approach.
