Can developers utilize a 32-bit architecture with a clear upgrade path even when low power and compact size are high on the list of requirements? Arm Ltd. attempts to answer that question with its ...
The DSP568xx combines µC functionality with a programmable DSP. The DSP family's parallel instruction set controls three concurrent execution units within the 568xx's three-stage pipeline: the data ...
If you are limiting yourself to only 16 instructions, which ones should you chose, and how do you manage without the ones that fall by the wayside? In my previous column on our project to build a ...
RISC-V ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) is designed in a modular way. It means that the ISA has several groups of instructions (ISA extensions) that can be enabled or disabled as needed. This allows ...
When System-on-Chip (SoC) developers include processors in their designs, they face choices in solving their computational challenges. Complex SoCs will usually have a variety of processor cores ...
