The central processing unit (CPU) is either a dedicated integrated circuit (IC) or intellectual property (IP) core on an IC that processes logic and math. A CPU can handle high-level provisioning of ...

The Cell processor consists of a general-purpose POWERPC processor core connected to eight special-purpose DSP cores. These DSP cores, which IBM calls "synergistic processing elements" (SPE), but I'm ...

With the circuit density available in today’s ASIC designs, increased integration can complicate the design of a system-on-a-chip (SoC). IBM’s Customizable Control Processor addresses the ...

The Altera JESD204B IP core is a high-speed point-to-point serial interface for digital-to-analog (DAC) or analog-to-digital (ADC) converters to transfer data to or from the FPGA devices. The JESD204B ...
