KIM 20: a symbolic RISC microprocessor for embedded advanced control
Jean-Claude Heudin · 2002
The author describes a new microprocessor architecture designed applying artificial intelligence techniques in complex process control applications. The KIM 20 embedded RISC microprocessor is a first implementation based on a classic CMOS 1.5 micron technology. Firstly the application field is introduced and secondly a technical overview of the architecture is given. Then, he discusses the ASIC tools used during the design. As a conclusion, the author gives performance results and briefly describes the software environment and future extension of this product.>
