Original Abstract

In this paper, we investigate three different realizations
of the same block from different points of view. The mentioned
different realizations include two realizations with
embedded processors (custom 16-bit RISC processor and
general soft-core processor) and the third realization uses
Handel-C as an example of synthesisable high-level abstraction
languages.
The results show that development time of complete
solution (HW and SW) is approximately the same for the
Handel-C design and the design with soft-core processor;
the development time of the Custom 16-bit RISC processor
is about five times higher. Moreover, the throughput of the
Handel-C design measured in the number of bits processed
in one second is the highest. The obtained frequency and
occupied area of the Handel-C design depends on the complexity
of the used program. However, results are comparable
or even better than results of the embedded processors.
