The Synergistic Processor Element is a new architecture oriented for multimedia and streaming processing. In this architecture, the memory is not a cache but a private or scratch pad memory. Such a memory is simple and needs to be high-frequency and large space in low-power. This design uses an 11 fan-out of four (11F04), six-cycle, fully pipelined, embedded 256-Kbyte SRAM for this purpose. The design's memory is not one hard macro, but a group of custom macros physically distributed to optimize the pipeline.
