Abstract

Embedded systems form a market that is already larger and growing more rapidly than that of general-purpose computers. In fact, real-time multimedia and signal processing embedded applications currently account for over 90% of all computer cycles. This article discusses challenges in developing retargetable compilers and synthesis tools for application-specific processor cores targeted at embedded portable digital communications and multimedia systems
