Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

Runtime-support functions

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

Standard ANSI functions that perform tasks that are not part of the C language (such as memory allocation, string conversion, and string searches).

A 40-bit register used primarily for extendedprecision floating-point calculations. Floating-point operations use bits 39–0 of an extended-precision register. Integer operations, however, use only ...

Bit-reversed indexed addressing

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

A method of indirect addressing that allows efficient I/O operations by resequencing the data points in a radix-2 fast Fourier transform (FFT) program. The direction of carry propagation in the ...

Mailbox

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

A 32-bit word in a parallel processor’s parameter RAM in which it places messages to clients (chiefly, the master processor).

Pipeline

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

A method of executing instructions in an assembly line fashion.

Parallel processor (PP)

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

An advanced digital signal processor that is used for video compression/decompression (P_64 or MPEG), still-image compression/decompression (JPEG), 2-D and 3-D graphic functions such as line draw, ...

Operation class

Semiconductors; Digital Signal Processors (DSP)

Specific multiplexer setting combinations that cause the same arithmetic logic unit (ALU) function to perform various distinct operations by controlling the routing of operands to the ALU. Eight ...
