Many concepts are covered in this paper at a high level. The objective is to familiarize the reader with new concepts and provide a framework for existing knowledge. An in-depth (and often rigorous) presentation on the topics covered can be found distributed throughout several chapters of any comprehensive DSP (digital signal processing) textbook. By intention this level of coverage should motivate the reader to pursue a more in depth understanding of specific technical details. The primary differences between conventional and DSP processors involve optimization for specific arithmetic operations and data handling. DSP processors are optimized to efficiently execute optimized operations which allow the efficient implementation of signal processing algorithms. The source of these signals can be audio, image-based or simply numerical. Many of these specialized DSP algorithms require repetitive use of the following operation group.
