ACT: A Low Power VLIW Cluster coprocessor for DSP Applications: The ACT (Adaptive Cellular Telephony) coprocessor architecture is described and analyzed using a set of widely used DSP algorithms. Performance and power are compared to equivalent implementations on ASIC and embedded processor platforms. Flexibility is achieved by fine-grain program control of communication and execution resources. Compression techniques, simple addressing modes...; Tags: DSP, Coprocessor, VLIW, Flexibility, University Of Utah, ASICs, Processors, Semiconductors, Hardware, Components; White papers 2006-01-20
