ASIP 5G Wireless Seminar 2022

Extending Processors into Flexible Accelerators for 5G using ASIP Designer

Join us for the ASIP Wireless Seminar 2022, to learn why domain-specific processors (also referred to as application-specific processors, or ASIPs, for short) gain a lot of attention these days, and why Synopsys’ ASIP Designer™ is the industry’s leading tool to design, implement, program, and verify such specialized processors. Whether you plan to start from a RISC-V ISA using one of the RISC-V example models that come with ASIP Designer, or you consider replacing your fixed-function hardware accelerator by a more flexible yet efficient programmable accelerator, this seminar is for you.

Topics covered: 

• An introduction to ASIP Designer tool-suite
• Case study: An Application Specific Vector Processor for CNN-based Massive MIMO Positioning (Invited talk by Lund University)
• Case study: 5G NR MMSE Channel Equalization using Cholesky Decomposition

Benefits of using ASIP Designer:

• Design tool to design custom, processors, DSP and accelerators, allowing rapid architectural exploration and optimization
• Automatic generation of the Software Development Kit (SDK), including optimizing C/C++ compiler, instruction-set simulator, debugger and profiler for your ASIP
• Generation an RTL implementation of the ASIP, together with scripts for the Synopsys synthesis tools
• Substantial engineering productivity increase compared to a traditional RTL & SDK tool development flow
