Line 1:
An '''application -specific instruction -set processor''' ('''ASIP''') is a component used in [[System-on-a-Chip]] design. The [[instruction set]] of an ASIP is tailored to benefit a specific application. This specialization of the core provides a tradeoff between the flexibility of a general purpose [[Central processing unit|CPU]] and the performance of an [[ASIC]].
 
Some ASIPs have a configurable instruction set. Usually, these cores are divided into two parts: ''static'' logic which defines a minimum ISA and ''configurable'' logic which can be used to design new instructions. The configurable logic can be programmed either in the "field" in a similar fashion to [[FPGA]] or during the chip synthesis.
