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.
All disc-based content for this title is now available on the
Web.
* Comprehensive subject coverage with emphasis on practical
application * Essential assembly language code included throughout
text * Many real-world examples using Analog's popular Blackfin
Processor architecture
