介绍了应用域专用指令集处理器(ASIP)的概念和技术。首先，回顾了几十年来的VLSI设计趋势，指出处理器将是系统级设计的主要部件之一。然后说明了ASIP相对于通用处理器(GPP)和专用集成电路(ASIC)的优势。然后概述了处理器硬件描述综合技术、应用程序开发工具集生成技术和处理器体系结构优化技术。然后，以ASIP开发环境为例，对ASIP Meister进行了说明。接下来，介绍ASIP在医疗保健中的应用。最后讨论了ASIP作为多处理器系统芯片(MPSoC)的重要组成部分的可能性。
This paper introduces the concept and technology of Application-domain Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP). First, VLSI design trend over the decades is overviewed and processors are shown to be expected one of the main components in the System Level Design. Then, the advantage of ASIP over General Purpose Processor (GPP) and Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is illustrated. Next, processor hardware description synthesis technology, application program development tool set generation technology, and processor architecture optimization technology are outlined. Then, as an ASIP development environment example, ASIP Meister is explained. Next, an application of ASIP to medical and healthcare is introduced. Finally, the possibility of ASIP as an important component of Multi Processor SoC (MPSoC) is discussed.
