Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

Dynamic memory allocation

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

A technique used by several functions (such as malloc, calloc, and realloc) to dynamically allocate memory for variables at runtime. This is accomplished by defining a large memory pool (heap) and ...

MIMD

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

Multiple instruction stream, multiple data stream. A parallel processing structure composed of multiple independent processors.

Byte

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

Traditionally, a byte is a sequence of 8 adjacent bits operated upon as a unit. However, the TMS320C2x/C2xx/C5x byte is 16 bits. By ANSI C definition, the sizeof operator yields the number of bytes ...

Operation

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

1) A defined action; namely, the act of obtaining a result from one or more operands in accordance with a rule that completely specifies the result of any permitted combination of operands. 2) The ...

Pipelined mode

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

A master processor (MP) floating-point unit mode in which multiple MP floating-point instructions are in various stages of completion in the floating-point multiply and/or add unit simultaneously.

Software pipelining

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

A technique used by the C optimizer and the assembly optimizer to schedule instructions from a loop so that multiple iterations of the loop execute in parallel.
