BDTI Benchmarks for picoChip PC102 multicore-DSP
According to Berkeley Design Technology (BDTI) benchmarks, picoChip's PC102 multicore signal processing device has a 40-fold advantage in price-performance over traditional DSP processors solutions in key communications benchmarks, and 8-times higher absolute performance.
The BDTI Communications Benchmark (OFDM)(TM) shows that the PC102 picoArray(TM) can implement 14 benchmark channels in a single device running 160MHz. This represents […]

Multi-Core RTOS for DSP Applications
Single-core processor architectures are no longer feasible for high-end solutions. Multi-core solutions are becoming the norm. While providing a solution that enables continuing performance increases, the switch to multi-core architectures creates new challenges for the application programmer. The article describes the use of a multi-core real-time operating system (RTOS) that enables programmers to develop most […]
Coming Soon to an Eyeball Near You
There is an interesting post on the TI blog, How Small is Too Small? In the post, Gene Frantz stated that the screens on some cell phones are too small and practically unreadable. On the other hand, PDAs' screens have grown at the expense of keyboards. Now might be the time to consider separating the […]
Optimizing Speech Recognition Performance with DSP
Embedded Star has an article on using DSP technology to optimize speech recognition performance. Here is a short excerpt:
It might be, that in 50 years time, we'll have a family android who will converse with us about the weather or even our favorite sport team's mid-season performance. If this is the case, then an important […]
