or any one of the other really beefy CPU architectures out there. Superscalars are great for general purpose computing, but their performance per watt dollar is abysmal in comparison to a DSP.

All programs and data processing are run in the CPU and all hardware components are, to some extent, controlled by it.

Based on information Intel has publicly released, it appears that the plan is to stay with current-generation CPU architectures for the first half of 2006, and to unleash some impressive-sounding ...

Ultra Data, for example, is currently developing an asymmetric, heterogeneous software programmable processor architecture capable of decoding bitstreams of next generation video standards for ...

That's the purported core configuration right now, which may change - and the other question with Nova Lake is will it be ...

is an application-specific processor employed in several products at Lantiq. In this paper we discuss the limitations of simple application-specific processors within manycore architectures and we ...
