Abstract

Reports on the history, development, and applications supported by Texas Instrument's digital signal processor. In the 1970s, Texas Instruments was an early player in the microprocessor industry. Its initial success as the microprocessor inside the consumer market products, calculators and digital watches, led to the development of two addition microprocessor families.

A Compiler-Friendly RISC-Based Digital Signal Processor Synthesis and Performance Evaluation

As DSP (Digital Signal Processing) applications become more complex, there is also a growing need for new architectures supporting efficient high-level language compilers. We try to synthesize a new DSP processor architecture by adding several DSP ...
Increasing Processor Performance Through Early Register Release
ICCD '04: Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Computer Design

Modern superscalar microprocessors need sizable register files to support large number of in-flight instructions for exploiting ILP. An alternative to building large register files is to use smaller number of registers, but manage them more effectively. ...
A scalable, clustered SMT processor for digital signal processing
Special issue: MEDEA-2003 workshop

A scalable, distributed, processor architecture is presented that emphasizes on high performance computing for digital signal processing applications by combining high frequency design techniques with a very high degree of parallel processing on a chip. ...
