Abstract :
Many emerging and future applications require significant levels of complex digital signal processing and operate within limited power budgets. Moreover, dramatically rising VLSI fabrication and design costs make programmable and reconfigurable solutions increasingly attractive. the ASAP project addresses these challenges with a chip multiprocessor composed of simple processors with small memories, achieving high energy efficiency and throughput in a small chip area.
