Yoshinori Takeuchi, Keishi Sakanushi, Masaharu Imai · 2010
This paper introduces a generation method of Application-domain Specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIP) and shows an design example. ASIP is a processor which has some extended instructions specific to application domain. First, advantage of ASIC is explained. Then, some processor generation approaches explained, and an ASIP development environment called ASIP Meister is introduced. Finally, design example shows some effectiveness of ASIP.
