I. del Campo · Cybernetics & Systems · 1998
This paper introduces the use of digital signal processors DSPs to implement intelligent control ICT algorithms. We show that DSPs, which are CISC microprocessors designed for real-time processing of digital signals, are also suitable for the implementation of ICT algorithms, such as neural networks and fuzzy systems. These systems are very close to signal processing applications in many aspects. For example, both involve multiply and multiply-accumulate operations, and both require an intensive data treatment and efficient I O peripherals. A detailed description of the software implementation of a feedforward neural network and a fuzzy inference algorithm is included. The performance achieved in both implementations is provided. The main advantages of the proposed alternative are low cost, complete flexibility in the selection of algorithms, and high processing speed in comparison with a standard microprocessor or microcontroller embedded system.
