Design Much Faster with a Processor
How do you get this blazing performance from
an Xtensa processor? Xtensa processors can be
quickly configured and extended to bring the
required amount and type of processing bandwidth
to bear on many embedded tasks, eliminating the
time-consuming requirement to hard code algorithms
in RTL.
You can use our XPRES Compiler to automatically
examine your C/C++ algorithm and figure out the
best possible configuration options and extensions
for your design. Or you can decide what accelerators
you want to add to the processors yourself.
Tensilica’s XPRES Compiler can take a
quick (usually under one hour) look at your C/C++
algorithm and recommend several ways to extend
the Xtensa processor to get the performance you
need to run that algorithm without any RTL coding.
The XPRES compiler uses a number of techniques
(explained here) that allows it to get the 8X
improvement shown in the EEMBC
benchmark.
