Abstract :
Programmability is an important requirement for portable computing and communication devices that must be flexible enough to accommodate a variety of multimedia services and communication capabilities. However, compared to dedicated, application-specific solutions, programmable devices often incur significant performance and power penalties. We present a hybrid architecture template that can be used to implement ultra-low-power programmable processors for signal processing applications
