A Fixed - Point DSP ( MDSP ) Chip for Portable Multimedia ∗

چکیده
Existing multimedia processors having millions of transistors are not suitable for portable multimedia services and existing fixed-point DSP chips having fixed data formats are not appropriate for multimedia applications. This paper proposes a multimedia fixed-point DSP (MDSP) chip for portable multimedia services and its chip implementation. MDSP employs parallel processing techniques, such as SIMD, vector processing, and DSP techniques. MDSP can handle 8-, 16-, 32or 40-bit data and can perform two MAC operations in parallel. In addition, MDSP can complete two vector operations with two data movements in a cycle. With these features, MDSP can handle both 2-D video signal processing and 1-D signal processing. The prototype MDSP chip has 68,831 gates, has been fabricated, and is running at 30MHz. key words: SIMD, vector processing, parallel architecture, video signal processing, digital signal processing

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, ...
