Abstract
Recently the border between DSP processors and general-purpose processors has been diminishing as general-purpose processors have obtained DSP features to support various multimedia applications. This chapter provides a view to general-purpose DSP processors by considering the characteristics of DSP algorithms and identifying important features in a processor architecture for efficient DSP algorithm implementations. Fixed-point and floating-point data paths are discussed. Memory architectures are considered from parallel access point of view and address computations are shortly discussed.
