This paper compares reconfigurable IP – a class of processing cores that provide high-performance, low power, and run-time flexibility – with other forms of intellectual property, and explains how ...

In a previous article, Getting started in structured assembly in complex SoC designs, an unexceptional system-on-chip (SoC) design was shown to contain hundreds of intellectual property (IP) blocks.

How can power be optimized across an entire chip when most of a chip’s content comes from third-party IP? Power is quickly becoming a major differentiator for products, regardless of whether they are ...
