参数化总线桥的设计及其可重用性测量

Parameterized Bus Bridge Design and Reusability Measurement

基于IP重用的设计方法是提高SoC设计效率的有效途径。为了使IP可以多次重用于不同系统体系结构和不同应用场合,应该尽可能提高IP的可配置能力,参数化设计是实现可配置的一种常用方法。文中研究了一个参数化总线桥IP软核的设计,并使用LOC作为度量指标定量地分析了参数化设计方法和非参数化设计对IP可重用性带来的影响。

Reuse design based on IPs can improve SoC productivity availably. To make IP reuse in different system architectures and across a variety of applications, IP should be as much configurable as possible. Parameterized design is a common solution to make IP configurable. This paper presents a parameterized soft IP design of bus bridge, and a quantitative analysis that parameterized design how effects on IP's reusability compared with non-parameterized design,using LOC (line of code) as a metric.
