No longer wallflowers, digital signal controllers (DSCs) are getting much more play these days. This class, which tends to be 16-bit, integer digitial signal processors, initially ...

General purpose processors (GPPs) are attractive for the digital signal processing requirements of software defined radio. For platforms where the power budget allows the use of GPPs, development cost ...

Chips called Digital Signal Processors differ from CPUs - general-purpose processors - in that they're finely tuned for signal processing. That's a complex set of characteristics, but one of the most ...

A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor that performs mathematical operations with lightning speed. For instance, a DSP might perform the mathematical operations necessary ...

Chip manufacturers and designers at the forum are expected to announce about 30 new microprocessors, digital signal processors and other chips meant to power devices such as video game consoles ...

The DSP can do filter signals more efficiently and with less power than a general purpose processor and within a strict deadline. DSPs are considered programmable. Digital signal processing and ...

Blanketing The Ground With Sensors The proliferation of inexpensive yet high-quality transducers for acoustic, seismic and optical images, along with inexpensive and low-power digital signal ...

A technical paper titled “An All-Optical General-Purpose CPU and Optical Computer Architecture” was published by researchers at Akhetonics. Abstract: “Energy efficiency of electronic digital ...

Standard processors such as graphics cards represent data in the form of electrical signals. Germany-based Akhetonics is developing a chip that represents information as light.
