Toshiba Develops High Performance Microprocessor  
Core  
-‘MeP-h1’is the World’s First 1GHz Configurable Processor-  
Toshiba Corporation has announced that it has developed a new  
high-end processor core, MeP-h1, the first configurable  
microprocessor to achieve a 1GHz clock speed. The MeP-h1 is  
based on Toshiba’s “Media embedded Processor” (MeP)  
architecture for digital consumer and other high performance  
SoCs. It gives designers the flexibility to customize processors at  
the design stage, including the ability to change processor  
configurations and add custom instructions to satisfy application  
requirements.  
The performance of the new core was boosted by increasing the  
number of instruction execution pipeline stages to nine, from five in  
Toshiba’s previous processor core. The new core is also optimized  
for design of high-performance customized processors by  
integration of a reorder buffer circuit that manages and shortens  
waiting cycles for user extension instructions.  
The present  
implementation of the core was manufactured with 65nanometer  
(nm) process technology, and that too contributed to achieving the  
1GHz clock speed. The new configurable processor core is  
designed with register transfer level description (RTL) and can be  
manufactured with other process technology, including 90nm  
technology.  
Development background:  
The market for digital equipment supporting images, audio and  
communications is growing fast. However, the required  
performance and type of data processing in system LSI differs by  
application, and the overall volume of handled data is rapidly  
increasing. As a result, there is growing demand for customizable
