OpenASIP is an open application-specific instruction-set processor (ASIP)
toolset for design and programming of customized co-processors (typically
programmable accelerators).
-The internal processor template is based on the energy efficient Transport
-Triggered Architecture (TTA) which is still also its primary target.
-
-OpenASIP was previously called TTA-based Co-Design Environment (TCE),
-but after adding support for customization of RISC-V ISA based processors
-and more traditional VLIWs (Blocks CGRA), it was renamed to a more
-general descriptive name.

The toolset provides a complete retargetable co-design flow from high-level
language programs down to FPGA/ASIC synthesizable processor RTL (VHDL and
-Verilog generation supported) and parallel program binaries.

+The internal processor template of OpenASIP is based on the energy efficient and

+
+OpenASIP, however, also has initial support for other programming models such

OpenASIP has been developed by several researchers (and research assistants) of
Tampere University (Finland) and various other international contributors
