New pipelined architecture for DSP
J. Noel, Vojin G. Oklobdzija · 2002
DSPs have been applied to digital filtering, modems, transmultiplexers, speech processing, high-fidelity audio, and graphics. The new DSP is in the family of the scalar fixed point digital signal processor. The type of instructions are similar to the RISC instructions. The best aspects of the DSP are explained,including possible modifications in order to maximize the performance of the DSP. This paper compares the features found in the new architectures, pointing to areas of possible improvement in the new DSPs introduced by different research laboratories in the world. The architectural innovations and concepts as related to the pipeline structure and its benefits are described.
