How close can we get to automated system optimization from a software function? The target keeps moving but the tools keep becoming more capable

Semiconductor Engineering

Building an optimal implementation of a system using a functional description has been an industry goal for a long time, but it has proven to be much more difficult than it sounds.
The general idea is to take software designed to run on a processor and to improve performance using various types of alternative hardware. That performance can be specified in various ways and for specific applications. The problems start when …

    The eVocore P8700 Multiprocessor is our first RISC-V based IP core.

    As an open standard ISA, RISC-V provides a foundation for a basic level of compatibility across technologies in the ecosystem. Together with Imperas and Ashling we are going beyond that, enabling SoC designers and software developers to take advantage of the P8700’s advanced microarchitectural features using best-in-class models and tools.
