Introduction
The complexity of system-on-chip (SoC) devices is increasing continuously. The competitive end-market requires the design of more versatile systems with more hardware and software resources in shorter time.
Custom processors
The unique ability to offer flexibility through software reprogram ability while limiting overhead makes them the ultimate trade-off between flexibility and power, performance and area.
Custom processors have the added benefit that they reduce the verification effort by decoupling the hardware verification and the functional verification.
