A key technology enabling fast-paced embedded media processing
developments is the high-performance, low-power, small-footprint convergent processor,
a specialized device that combines the real-time control
of a traditional microcontroller with the signal processing
power of a DSP. This practical guide is
your one-stop shop for understanding how to implement
this cutting-edge technology.
You will learn how to:
- Choose
the proper processor for an application;
- Architect your
system to avoid problems at the outset;
- Manage
your data flows and memory accesses so that
they line up properly;
- Make smart-trade-offs in portable
applications between power considerations and computational performance;
- Divide
processing tasks across multiple cores;
- Program frameworks that
optimize performance without needlessly increasing programming model complexity;
-
Implement benchmarking techniques that will help you adapt
a framework to best fit a target application,
and much more.
Covering the entire spectrum of EMP-related
design issues, from easy-to-understand explanations of basic architecture
and direct memory access (DMA), to in-depth discussions
of code optimization and power management, this practical
book will be an invaluable aid to every
engineer working with EMP, from the beginner to
the seasoned expert.
Essential assembly language code is included
throughout text and on CD-ROM.
