Applications for the Highly Parallel Mobile Multimedia Modem M3-DSP
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Mobile Multimedia Modem (M3)-DSP is based on a scalable, highly parallel DSP platform concept capable of delivering the processing power to create software solutions for tasks that are currently considered ASIC-only domains, e.g. xDSL or IEEE 802.11a. The platform, consisting of the parallel signal processing engine and an Input-/ Output Processor (IOP) is introduced with features which are relevant to the implementation of various algorithms. Implementation results are presented for an MP3 decoder and a spectrum analyzer. The results show that exploiting the finegrain parallelism of the algorithms can lead to a significant reduction of the cycle count over conventional DSPs.

Future DSP architectures need to be developed for paving the way into a generation of high scale signal processing power, i.e. greater than 1000M MAC/s (multiply accumulate per second). This can only be reached today by introducing a new parallel processing paradigm into DSP architecture. Here we show that this requirement can be achieved already today at moderate clock speeds (100MHz) based on...
متن کاملDesigning Performance Enhanced Digital Signal Processors Using Loop Transformations
Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are employed in all fields of multimedia applications such as speech, audio, modem, video, or graphics. Often, they are embedded into multimedia systems as a System on Chip (SoC) component. Although DSPs could still be modified in the SoC domain, they are mainly employed as fixed DSP cores. Possible adaptations to the embedding system are not carried out. Thus, ...
