Abstract
The evolution of single-chip digital signal-processor (DSP) architectures is discussed. It is argued that multiple arithmetic units and functionally enhanced arithmetic units are promising directions for further evolution of the datapath architecture. Candidate structures are defined, and the operation of popular DSP benchmarks on these structures is demonstrated
