Abstract
Traditional DSP cores based on off-the-shelf processors do not provide any possibilities to configure the core itself. This has been addressed by licensable, customizable cores. This paper introduces a new generation of parameterized and extensible DSP cores. The VS-DSP core features can be tailored to the application by changing the parameters. Furthermore, there are several extension mechanisms incorporated to the architecture, enabling the exploration of hardware-software tradeoffs in core based ASIC design
