C/C++ compiler support for Siemens TriCore DSP instruction set

چکیده
How to make compilers more useful for developing DSP applications and reduce reliance on assembly coding has long been a topic of interest in the DSP community. This paper presents Siemens solutions for supporting its TriCore DSP/microcontroller architecture, including SIMD instructions, at the C/C++ level. Two solutions based on either extending C/C++ language with the new built-in DSP data types or developing an external DSP class library are investigated. First cut implementations of both methods have achieved 80% coverage of the TriCore instruction set, which is 30 percent higher than the coverage before DSP support was added.

Compilers for Digital Signal Processors (DSP) have been inefficient. The constraints have been two-fold. First, signal processing algorithms that use non-associative arithmetic are not easily described in high-level languages such as C, C++, and Java. Second, historical DSP architectures have been difficult compiler targets due to their non-orthogonal instruction sets. With modern DSP architect...
