Processor IP garners the most attention in SoC design, but it’s not the only IP category begging for smart choices. Every processor core needs to be fed with data; however, frequent off-chip DRAM access incurs a large clock-cycle penalty each time. Architects now want SRAM blocks distributed throughout an SoC, putti...
