TMS320 DSP Algorithm Standard Rules and Guidelines (Rev. G)

This document defines a set of requirements for DSP algorithms that, if followed, allow system integrators to quickly assemble production-quality systems from one or more such algorithms. Thus, this standard is intended to enable a rich commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) marketplace for DSP algorithm technology and to significantly reduce the time-to-market for new DSP-based products.

The TMS320 DSP Algorithm Standard is part of TI's eXpressDSP technology initiative. Algorithms that comply with the standard are tested and awarded an "eXpressDSP-compliant" mark upon successful completion of the test.

In describing these requirements and their purpose, it is often necessary to describe how applications might be structured to take advantage of eXpressDSP-compliant algorithms. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the TMS320 DSP Algorithm Standards make no substantive demands on the clients of these algorithms.
