3DSP and Denali Software Partner to Increase Data Bandwidth for External Memory; Integration of DSP and Memory Controller Cores Already Proven in Silicon.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2002 3DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive Corporation, the leader in configurable digital signal processor A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time computing. Characteristics of typical Digital Signal Processors
3DSP's cores, tools, application software and its DSP-Shuttle provide designers a comprehensive platform from which to quickly optimize DSP architecture for their target application. Denali's Databahn solution enables customers to configure a memory controller to match their exact application for the ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. in order to achieve 100% bus utilization. "Our relationship with Denali expands the benefits to our joint customers with proven IP and the extremely high data transfer rates that are needed for high-performance DSP applications," said Kan Lu, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. at 3DSP. "The combination of Denali's memory controllers with 3DSP's DSP cores and DSP-Shuttle enables customers to design a very competitive, high-performance system solution." 3DSP's Masterpiece program is aimed at creating a network of complementary suppliers of DSP- or IP-related products and services to empower designers. The program aids in the development of leading edge system solutions with complete access to the latest and most thoroughly integrated technologies available on the market. "Memory bandwidth Memory bandwidth is the rate at which data can be read from or stored into a semiconductor memory by a processor. Memory bandwidth is usually expressed in units of bytes/second, though this can vary for systems with natural data sizes that are not a multiple of the commonly used is widely recognized as one of the primary performance bottlenecks for DSP applications," said Kevin Silver, vice-president of marketing for Denali. "We are very pleased to work with 3DSP to provide a memory solution that has been proven in silicon. Now, with solid experience in the 3DSP architecture, we look forward to assisting more joint customers in building high-performance, and highly differentiated memory systems."
