Parallel Processing With TMS320C4x

This document presents an in depth discussion of the TMS320C40 ('C40) digital signal processor (DSP), an introduction to parallel processing, hardware applications, software algorithms, and end-applications for the 'C40 32-bit floating-point DSP. The hardware applications prototype the 'C40 to the CYPRESS VICo68/VAC068 Interface and AMELLIA, an A/D or D/A interface to the TMS320C40 global bus. The software algorithms show a parallel approach for matrix multiplication and parallel 1-D and 2-D fast Fourier transform (FFT) implementations with the assembler source provided. The end applications are transmission of still and moving images over narrow-band channel and optical quality analysis with parallel processing.
