For floating-point processing, new choice arrives with the new decade
Floating-point processors are a key element of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications. For the last couple of decades, the AltiVec floating-point processor provided in PowerPC architectures, after it unseated the use of dedicated, specialized DSP chips, has stood as the de facto standard in the industry. But now recent advances in Intel microprocessors have introduced an attractive alternative to AltiVec in the COTS military signal...

Intel tries DSP again...using a ''soft'' approach
Intel had a quasi-successful digital signal processor with their i860 in the early 1990s. Now they’re trying again using software, FPGAs, and standard CPUs

Advanced power management: The next step in DSP board design
s multiprocessor systems such as those used in military DSP applications continue their rise in performance and power, it becomes increasingly critical to obtain accurate data on per-slot power dissipation. This can be a real challenge unless boards are provided with advanced power management and temperature monitoring capabilities. Editor’s note: Author Ian Stalker comments that “half of the DSP system design challenge is about power.”...

White Paper: Integrated VXS SIGINT Digital Receiver/Processor
This application note describes a notional Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) solution that can be integrated utilizing a high-performance digital receiver from DRS Signal Solutions and a high-performance Digital Signal Processing (DSP) engine from Curtiss-Wright. The combination of the DRS SI-9146 Dual Tuner and the Curtiss-Wright VPF1 VXS DSP engine presents a low-risk approach to the development of SIGINT and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems...

FPGA vs. DSP Design Reliability and Maintenance
Digital signal processing (DSP) underpins modern wireless and wireline communications, medical diagnostic equipment, military systems, audio and video equipment, and countless other products, becoming increasingly common in consumers' lives. Due to advances in semiconductor technology, ever more complex DSP algorithms, protocols, and applications are now feasible, which, in turn, increase the complexity of the systems and products....

Multi-Core DSP Enables Advanced Target Discrimination and Tracking
Video surveillance must automatically detect targets and suspicious behaviors in order to effectively monitor large networks of cameras. Single processor designs have limited previous attempts at video content analysis and computer vision. We present a cost-effective multi-core approach that utilizes 16 DSP and 8 RISC processors on one chip, working in parallel to analyze video feeds for use in smart network cameras.
