Tensilica 4th generation DSP IP is a VPU
You may not know Tensilica DSP IP core, but you probably use Tensilica DSP powered systems in your day to day life. Every year, over 2 billion DSP cores equip IC in thousands of designs supporting IoT, Mobile Phones, Storage/SSD, Networking, Video, Security, Cameras… and more. Why DSP processing, the foundation of all Tensilica processors, is getting such high adoption? Just because DSP processing is more energy and area efficient than CPU or even CPU/GPU processing. If you compare the energy dissipated to process image (in mJoule per frame) when offloading to Host CPU (4 cores), Host CPU (4-cores) + 3-pipe GPU (4-cores) or to a Vision P5 DSP like Tensilica 4th generation IP core you notice 30X reduction factor.
