Company Description: BOPS BOPS Billions Of Operations Per Second BOPS Balance of Payments Statistics BOPS Biaxial Oriented Polystyrene BOPS Billion of Operations per Second (R), Inc. (Billions of Operations Per Second, Inc.) licenses a family of scalable and reusable re·use tr.v. re·used, re·us·ing, re·us·es To use again, especially after salvaging or special treatment or processing. re·us DSP (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 co-processors for ARM and MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. that are optimized for consumer multimedia, networking, and communication products. Two complete development environments are available, one for System-on-chip (SOC) designers and one for Software Developers. By combining ManArray's high performance and low power DSP co-processor with an ARM, MIPS, or other RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. , designers can extend their existing platforms to successive product generations while preserving their investment in application code, OS, drivers, and infrastructure.
