Very high-performance multi-core Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are increasingly used in telecommunications access, edge and infrastructure equipment to process voice, video and radio signals. The current generation of multi-core DSPs has dramatically enhanced processing capabilities over its predecessors. As a result, these new DSPs can replace solutions that previously could only be implemented commercially using dedicated ASICs or DSPASIC combinations.Power and Performance Optimizations in High-Performance Multi-Core DSPs White Paper Table of Contents Introduction 1 The power crisis 2 Static power-performance optimization 4 Dynamic power-performance optimization 5 I.
