Abstract
Within Philips Research Labs, we are investigating the 64-bit VLIW core for future TriMedia processors. We have performed an extensive design space exploration (DSE) on this core using quantitative analysis, using a benchmark suite of applications which are representative for multimedia processing. We have explored, among others, the configurations of the different functional units (FUs) of the 64-bit VLIW core. We show the merit of our approach and of the environment that we have developed for design space exploration
