Wingard: We are moving away from processor-dominated designs. In the early world of the SoC, people were surprised you could put a CPU on an ASIC. We’re now at the point where it’s trivial to implement multiple CPUs from a process technology perspective. From a design complexity management perspective, it’s far from trivial. The high volume applications are almost all embedded processors-digital set-top boxes, phones, MP3 players. The world of embedded systems programmers is primitive compared with the people who program supercomputers. No one has come up with an abstraction that allows you to manage more than one program at a time. The only approach that we have come up with that makes sense is to partition the design into multiple CPUs.
