When Is a Subsystem Not Like an IP?
August 25, 2014
When is a subsystem not like an IP? I have been asked this question several times and I haven't had a good answer until recently. A change in adoption of one of our tools led me circuitously to a cause, and also to an interesting trend in SoC design. The change is new growth in use of our GenSys tool in the assembly and optimization of subsystems -- particularly ARM and GPU subsystems. Tracing back from that effect to the root cause has taken some detective work. In the process, I gained a better understanding of what makes subsystems more than just "bigger IP."
