"IP Designer's capability to define highly specialized datapath architectures provides very compelling algorithmic efficiency. Honestly, the only other alternative was to design this in fixed function logic, but then we would have had to almost completely give up on programmability. IP Designer's optimizing C compiler exploits the parallelism and vector predication capabilities of our SIMD architecture well, which enables us to program our new ASIPs entirely from C code. Our Vision Application development support environment, called VSSLT, is then ready to include such type of function."
