less than two percent area overhead per PE, for a class of reconfigurable processor arrays called Tightly Coupled Processor Arrays (TCPAs).
Chip maker Intel is now putting its heft behind the trend as well, launching a new class of processors it calls the Atom, designed to bring PC processors to ever smaller devices.
The ADL++ language supports an execution model that is suitable for expressing a broad class of processor architectures.
Digital signal controller (DSC) is a new class of processor that couples the powerful mathematical processing performance of a pure digital signal processor with the highly deterministic behavior of standard microcontrollers.
However, mapping a large fraction of this parallelism onto this new class of processors is not straightforward.
Embedded processor, a class of computer, or computer chip, embedded in various machines.
The Lumia 2520 and Surface 2 both have screens around 10 inches and run Windows RT, the variation of the Windows operating system designed for thinner, low-power mobile devices based on the ARM class of processors.
Network processors (NPs) are emerging new class of processors that combine programmable ASICs and microprocessors to implement adaptive network services.
However, this class of processors has faced many challenges due to its increasing fabrication cost and design complexity.
The Nios II/f Fast central processing unit (CPU) is optimized for maximum performance [19, 20]; it delivers up to 220 DMIPs of performance in the Stratix II family of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), placing it squarely in the advanced RISC machine (ARM) 9 [21] class of processors.
