Abstract

A design methodology is presented to optimize application specific instruction set processors (ASIPs) with respect to performance and power. The methodology uses semi-custom design with incremental datapath and instruction set enhancements of a conventional, unoptimized architecture. ICORE, a low-power ASIP for DVBT acquisition and tracking algorithms, demonstrates the huge potential concerning power savings of these optimizations
