Traditional SoC design approaches are based on the use of one or multiple embedded microprocessor cores (e.g. ARM) complemented with hardwired accelerators. However, to cope with the flexibility requirements of next-generation devices, accelerators will need to become software programmable. This trend calls for an increased use of application-specific processors (ASIPs), and turns SoCs into heterogeneous multicore platforms offering significant amounts of multithreaded parallelism.
