The ASIP Advantage
ASIPs (Application-Specific Processors) deliver greater computational efficiencies than merchant processors and more flexibility than fixed-function RTL designs. As such, they are the ideal technology to consider for performance and power sensitive design elements in next-generation SoCs – particularly where flexibility provides a key competitive advantage. Imagine being able to:
- Create differentiating IP that meets market demands for performance and power dissipation, yet is programmable from C
- Adjust performance sensitive algorithms without requiring silicon respins
- Enable your customer base to differentiate their products using their own proprietary algorithmic IP
- Reduce schedule risk and improve time to market
ASIPs deliver that, and more. LEARN MORE >>
Testimonies
"Target's C compiler offers advanced optimizations like pointer disambiguation and software pipelining, which are very beneficial to exploit the instruction-level parallelism of VLIW architectures."
About Target Compiler Technologies
Founded in 1996, Target Compiler Technologies is one of the pioneers of configurable processor technology.
Target is the leading provider of retargetable software tools for the design, programming, and verification of application-specific processors (ASIPs). ASIPs are key building blocks of both single-core and multi-core systems-on-chip (SoCs) that power today’s electronic systems.
Since their introduction, Target's tools have been and are being used successfully by major electronic system and semiconductor companies in the design of SoCs for products ranging from cordless and 3G phones to other products such as car radio, portable media players, high-definition video, xDSL modems, DSL access multiplexers, and hearing instruments.
