"We needed an efficient retargetable tool-suite as our basic infrastructure for designing novel multi-media accelerators. Next generation multi-media systems not only require extreme computational performance and low power consumption, but must also be able to cope with multiple standards for audio and video coding, and must be designed in a short time. The Chess/Checkers tool-suite enables the design of flexible processor cores that exactly combine those challenging requirements."
