Great Article by Jack Ganssle

Jack Ganssle, the guru for many software developers, wrote a great piece for Embedded Systems Programming and you can see it at http://www.embedded.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=161600589. He shows that the best way to cut software costs is to divide and conquer. By dividing projects into smaller, more manageable tasks that each run on its own processor, overall software costs can be cut significantly. Tensilica's customers have been doing this for years. By employing multiple configurable processors, each tailored to the exact task at hand, these customers are cutting design time and software development time.
