Steve,

I'm sure Jeff and his cohorts appreciate the plug... The
website says far more than they were willing to tell us last
week. BTW, we missed you at FCCM again this year.

Looks interesting..
Does the EEMBC benchmark mean they have real silicon ?
On all other cores, I see (ASM OPT) gives quite a gain over (C OPT).

Thus on this core, could one expect (ASM + Floorplan OPT) to
also give gains ?

There is more info here :

Talks of dual port memory, 100MHz logic fabric speeds, and this
comment was the most revealing :
"When the compiler extracts and creates a custom pipeline, it also
works out the latency, so it knows how large a delay slot to insert in
the code stream for that operation."
So the PR talk of a 'single opcode' was only part of the story -
These HW assisted single opcodes can be quite slow (relative to other
single opcodes, but of course, still much faster than SW wheel spinning )
DMA reload in two halves in 80-100us also sounded good...

No sign yet of numbers showing just how big the ProgLogicFabric is ?
