[Oberon] Resend: Re: Risc-5 Instructions statistics

[Walter Gallegos]

Hi Paul,

In the general picture I agree, the evil is in the details.

Implementing a general propose microprocessor system alone in FPGA is 
impractical beyond the research or ASIC prototypes. For industrial 
applications the microprocessor must coexist with some special hardware 
that justifies the use of FPGA. In this environment, wasting DSP blocks 
could be a not recommended technique.

Regards

Walter
