Paul McLellan Discusses How to Use Processors in the SOC Dataplane

Tensilica's DPUs are idea for the SOC Dataplane. What's a DPU? Read this article. The main advantages are:

• Flexibility. Changing the firmware changes the blocks function.
• Software-based development, with lower cost tools and ease of making last minute changes.
• Faster and more powerful system modeling, and more complete coverage
• Time-to-market
• Ability to make post-silicon changes to the firmware to tweak/improve algorithms
• DPU processor cores are pre-designed and pre-verified. Just add the firmware.
