HSA-enabled DSPs and accelerators
John Glossner, Paul Blinzer, Jarmo Takala · 2015
In this paper, we describe the Heterogeneous System Architecture Foundation's application to digital signal processors (DSP) and hardware accelerators. We provide an overview of the HSA runtime, system architecture and programmer's model, identify characteristics of DSPs and compare differences in algorithms to GPUs. We show an example mapping of HSA agents to a modern DSP using the HSA intermediate language.
