Title :
A streamlined DSP microprocessor architecture
Author :
Takefman, Michael ; Chow, Paul
Abstract :
A microprocessor architecture for digital signal processing is described. The architecture offers almost twice the performance of the Motorola DSP56000 microprocessor, while maintaining assembly-code compatibility. Improved performance is achieved by streamlining the instruction set, using a seven-stage pipeline, and adding a second memory write stage late in the pipeline
