DRP features two dimensional array of tiny processors and memories, onto which applications are compiled and mapped as a hardware structure that reflects original nature of data and control flow of the application. We have ceaselessly conducted its R&D and business development from late 1990, resulted in wide product deployment especially in image processing equipments recently. On the way, we needed number of breakthroughs and dense R&D efforts not only in architecture and circuit design for achieving orders of magnitude better performance/power over conventional CPU, but also product-quality IP core technologies (testing, cost-reduction, etc.), integrated design tool (compiler) which features high-level synthesis tool as its core technology, middleware like drivers/API, product-level application development, and proving all of them. This talk will trace historical developments of such R&D efforts, analyze what have been most crucial on its way, and will also reveal its current standpoint. In view of the severe troubles that today’s VLSI’s face, namely 1) engineering issues due to continuously increasing power dissipation, e.g., power wall and utilization wall, 2) economical issues where low-volume chips cannot amortize ever rising chip cost anymore, it will also be argued that reconfigurable architectures like our DRP is going to have more and more practical importance. Finally, remaining issues to be solved for truly wider acceptance of the type of technology will be discussed. |
