Our technical writers write documentation about configurable embedded processors, including those with DSP and vector-processing architectures and those implemented as intellectual-property (IP) cores for applications such as communications systems and Internet appliances. This Tensilica reference manual describes an instruction-set extension technology for creating new kinds of macro instructions using Verilog-like expressions.
