DSPs

摘要

DSPs today are still programmed mainly in assembly code - which somehow seems like a "stone age" approach for the compiler dominated microprocessor world. Now that compilers are moving into the DSP world, does this mean that we see the long-awaited merger of DSPs & micros? Or will DSPs disappear? To understand this we must have a look at rn

rn
• what are DSPs good at, and what notrn
• is there future potential in DSP architecture developmentrn
• how could future DSPs look likern
• how do these DSPs address compiler issues, and vice versa

.DSPs have a distinct reason for their existence and will not go away in foreseeable future. Why? This is exactly what the talk is about.
