This text offers students a hands-on approach to understanding architecture and programming of DSP processors, and the design of real-time DSP systems. It contains real-world applications, and implementation of DSP algorithms using both the fixed-point and floating-point processors.

"Presents the latest developments in the prgramming and design of programmable digital signal processors (PDSPs) with very-long-instruction word (VLIW) architecture, algorithm formulation and implementation, and modern applications for multimedia processing, communications, and industrial control."

About The Book: This book fuses signal processing algorithms and VLSI circuit design to assist digital signal processing architecture developers. The author then shows how this technique can be used in applications such as: signal transmission and storage, manufacturing process quality control and assurance, autonomous mobile system control and biomedical process analysis. This new publication is a revised and expanded version.

Real-time Digital Signal Processing: Implementations and Applications has been completely updated and revised for the 2nd edition and remains the only book on DSP to provide an overview of DSP theory and programming with hands-on experiments using MATLAB, C and the newest fixed-point processors from Texas Instruments (TI).

This book addresses hardware architectures for implementations of Digital Signal Processing algorithms. Depending on software requirements, DSP may be implemented as dedicated hardware or as software programmable devices, and architectures for implementations of basic operations and basic functions are relevant for both implementation types. The mapping of signal processing algorithms onto specific array processors is covered, as are special applications digital filters and linear transforms. The architectures of programmable DSPs are integral to the book, and architectural measures to increase signal processing performance are explained. Both basic architectures of standard processors, and more specialist means such as SIMD, VLIW, and superscalar architectures are included. Significant developments in technology since the previous edition will receive particular focus: these include semiconductor technologies enabling the implementation of several programmable cores on one chip; multiprocessors with homogenous and heterogeneous structures; and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) allowing rapid prototyping. A concluding chapter looks at alternative DSP design styles (dedicated digital design, implementations using commercial DSP processors, application specific programmable processors, FPGA implementations) driven by application demands and implementation constraints. The focus of the book is the transition of signal processing algorithms to hardware architectures for VLSI implementations.

This CD contains five appendices from the book and programs (MATLAB, Simulink, C, and TMS320C5000 assembly) with their associated data files.
