Unit 2 Modern Electronic Design
2-1 introduction to Configurable Computing
Computers that modify their hardware circuits as they operate are opening a newera in computer design.Because they can filter data rapidly,they excel at patternrecognition,image processing and encryption.
Computer designers face a constant struggle to find the right balance betweenspeed and generality.They can build versatile chips that perform many differentfunctions relatively slowly,or they can devise application-specific chips that do only alimited set of tasks but do them much more quickly.Microprocessors(such as the IntelPentium or Motorola PowerPC chips commonly found in personal computers)aregeneral purpose: programming instructions encoded in binary format can lead amicroprocessor through virtually any logical or mathematical operation a programmercan conceive.[1]The Intel Pentium,for example,was never designed specifically toexecute either Microsoft Word or the computer game DOOM,but it can run both.
I.Configurable Computing
In contrast,custom hardware circuits,of ten known as application-specific integratedcircuits(ASICs),provide precisely the functionality needed for a specific task.Bycarefully tuning each ASIC to a given job,the computer designer can produce a smaller,cheaper,faster chip that consumes less power than a programmable processor.[2]Acustom graphics chip for a PC,for instance,can draw lines or paint pictures on thescreen 10 or 100 times as quickly as a general-purpose central processing unit can.
As designers make their choices between versatility and speed,they must alsoconfront the issue of cost.A well-designed ASIC will solve the specific problem for whichit was designed,but probably not a slightly modified problem introduced after the ASICdesign is finished.Furthermore,even if a modified ASIC can be developed for the newproblem,the original hardware circuits may be too highly customized to be reused insuccessive generations.As a result,the engineering effort required to design and buildan ASIC must be amortized over a relatively small number of units.
