Abstract :
The method for designing application specific algorithms on IP-methodology is presented. Two well known VLSI design methods, IP-based design methodology and coarse grain computing, are combined making it possible to design a complete chip (i.e. system-on-a-chip) from IP blocks and to change the functionality of the chip after manufacturing even dynamically. In addition the actual implementation of the presented method is shown and a modern computation intensive algorithm is mapped on it. In the results it is shown that modern silicon technologies already make it realistic to use the presented programmable and configurable IP block on SoC.
