Processor Design (eBook, PDF)

System-On-Chip Computing for ASICs and FPGAs
Redaktion: Nurmi, Jari

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides insight into a number of different flavors of processor architectures and their design, software tool generation, implementation, and verification. After a brief introduction to processor architectures and how processor designers have sometimes failed to deliver what was expected, the authors introduce a generic flow for embedded on-chip processor design and start to explore the vast design space of on-chip processing. The types of processor cores covered include general purpose RISC cores, traditional DSP, a VLIW approach to signal processing, processor cores that can be customized for specific applications, reconfigurable processors, protocol processors, Java engines, and stream processors. In addition, the book describes co-processor and multi-core design approaches that deliver application-specific performance over and above that which is available from single-core designs.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "Editor Jari Nurmi's proposal was to put together the first effective textbook aimed at the subject of processor design. The book comprises 21 chapters, written by a total of 45 contributing authors with backgrounds in both academic and industrial fields. ... To summarize, this book offers a nice overview on the steps involved in designing a soft-processor, as well as a good perspective on past architectures and current trends in processor design." (Ricardo Jasinski, The Computer Journal, Vol. 53 (1), 2010)
