With assistance from Tensilica, the
university team integrated an Xtensa LX4 DSP core to demonstrate the overall
power reduction benefits from the combination of a 28nm low power technology,
adaptive power management and an advanced processor IP core.
"Tensilica has had a long-standing relationship with the researchers at TU
Dresden and congratulates them on this successful design effort," stated
Chris Rowen, Tensilca's CTO. "Tensilica's Xtensa processor is a
fundamental building block in TU Dresden's wireless communications
architecture, and we are working together to proliferate know-how on
configurable architectures to the worldwide design community." See press release.
