The processors have built-in, fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP) functionality performed by 16-bit multiply–accumulates (MACs), accompanied on-chip by a microcontroller. [1] It was designed for a unified low-power processor architecture that can run operating systems while simultaneously handling complex numeric tasks such as real ...
The Super Harvard Architecture Single-Chip Computer (SHARC) is a high performance floating-point and fixed-point DSP from Analog Devices. SHARC is used in a variety of signal processing applications ranging from audio processing, to single-CPU guided artillery shells to 1000-CPU over-the-horizon radar processing computers. The original design ...
A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor chip, with its architecture optimized for the operational needs of digital signal processing. [ 1 ] : 104–107 [ 2 ] DSPs are fabricated on metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit chips.
Amber is an ARM-compatible 32-bit RISC processor. Amber implements the ARMv2 instruction set. LEON, a 32-bit, SPARC-like CPU created by the European Space Agency; OpenPOWER, based on IBM's POWER8 and newer multicore processor designs; OpenSPARC, a series of open-source microprocessors based on the UltraSPARC T1 and UltraSPARC T2 multicore ...
Qualcomm announced Hexagon Vector Extensions (HVX). HVX is designed to allow significant compute workloads for advanced imaging and computer vision to be processed on the DSP instead of the CPU. [19] In March 2015 Qualcomm announced their Snapdragon Neural Processing Engine SDK which allow AI acceleration using the CPU, GPU and Hexagon DSP. [20]
TTI tried unsuccessfully to create a 64 bit next generation TriMedia CPU architecture. This venture was ill-timed, as it was right at the start of the Dot-com recession. In 2003 what was left of TTI was re-absorbed within Philips. [2] In 2002, the TM3260 CPU was released in the PNX1500 Media Processor SoC. This CPU was the first of a family of ...
It also includes two 56-bit accumulators, each with an 8-bit "extension" (a.k.a. headroom); otherwise, the accumulators are similar to the other 24/48-bit registers. Being a Modified Harvard architecture processor, the 56k has three memory spaces + buses (and on-chip memory banks in some of the models): a program memory space/bus and two data ...
The process was perfected on TI's MVP digital signal processor (DSP) with some features missing such as three levels of metal instead of four and a 0.55 feature size, before it was used to fabricate the UltraSPARC to avoid a repeat of the fabrication problems encountered with SuperSPARC.
