Increasing complexity of modern embedded systems demands system
designers to ramp up their design productivity without compromising
performance goals. This is promoted by modern Electronic System Level
(ESL) techniques. Language-driven Exploration and Implementation of
Partially Re-configurable ASIPs addresses an important segment of the
ESL area by modeling partially re-configurable processors via high-level
Architecture Description Language (ADL). This approach also hints an
imminent evolution in the area of re-configurable system design.
