Multiple sensing systems often encounter performance bottlenecks in a single processor centric data acquisition and processing environment. The present communication reports synthesis of multiprocessors on a single FPGA chip using soft IP core. The paper discusses design issues, advantages and potential applications. The results serve as a guiding source for implementation of full custom ASIC implementation with an added advantage of thorough testing in an accelerated time to market design paradigm.
