  Introduction to Digital Signal Processing
DSP chips are capable of carrying out millions of floating point operations per second, and like their better-known general-purpose cousins, faster and more powerful versions are continually being introduced.
DSP signal compression technology allows people not only to talk to one another but also to see one another on their computer screens, using small video cameras mounted on the computer monitors, with only a conventional telephone line linking them together.
The architecture of a DSP chip is designed to carry out such operations incredibly fast, processing hundreds of millions of samples every second, to provide real-time performance: that is, the ability to process a signal "live" as it is sampled and then output the processed signal, for example to a loudspeaker or video display.

 DSP Tutorial
A DSP, on the other hand, is often used as a type of embedded controller or processor that is built into another piece of equipment and is dedicated to a single group of tasks.
DSPs are classified by their dynamic range, the spread of numbers that must be processed in the course of an application.
According to Texas Instruments, DSPs are used as the engine in 70% of the world's digital cellular phones, and with the increase in wireless applications, this number will only increase.Digital signal processing is used in many fields including biomedicine, sonar, radar, seismology, speech and music processing, imaging and communications.

 Digital signal processing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DSP and analog signal processing are subfields of signal processing.
DSP has at least four major subfields: audio signal processing, control engineering, digital image processing and speech processing.
Since the goal of DSP is usually to measure or filter continuous real-world analog signals, the first step is usually to convert the signal from an analog to a digital form, by using an analog to digital converter.

 Analog Devices: Analog Dialogue: Digital Signal Processing 101­ An introductory course in DSP system design: Part 1
In brief, DSPs are processors or microcomputers whose hardware, software, and instruction sets are optimized for high-speed numeric processing applications­ an essential for processing digital data representing analog signals in real time.
When acting as a digital filter, for example, the DSP receives digital values based on samples of a signal, calculates the results of a filter function operating on these values, and provides digital values that represent the filter output; it can also provide system control signals based on properties of these values.
Understanding the relationship between real-time signals and DSP calculation speed provides some background on just how special this combination is. The real-time signal comes to the DSP as a train of individual samples from an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

 DSP - Dynamic Simulator for Prefermenters
DSP can then be used to predict prefermenter effluent characteristics and mass of VFAs produced over a range of prefermenter hydraulic and solids residence times (HRT/SRT), reactor size and flow conditions - for use by subsequent BNR processes.
DSP steady-state, dynamic and batch simulations can also be applied to existing BNR plant simulators by using predicted outputs from DSP (or suitable data conversions) as inputs into the BNR simulator.
DSP optionally provides facilities to predict prefermenter pH as a surrogate parameter for VFA monitoring and control - catering for cases where VFA measurement data is not readily available.

 The DSP solution spectrum for medical imaging applications using FPGAs | DSP-FPGA.com
DSPs are essentially serial machines, processing one element of the signal chain at a time.
The DSP continues to execute the majority of the code including all complex control plane processing, allowing the FPGA to act as a custom peripheral or coprocessor to accelerate any process intensive code within the imaging algorithm, which can be seen in Figure 2.
When the DSP ASSP gets to a process intensive section of code, it instructs the coprocessor to gather the data stored within the memory space via direct memory access, process the image and notify the DSP ASSP, when it completes its task.

 What is the best way to learn DSP
While DSP chips have many similarities with general-purpose microprocessors, they have an architecture tuned to common DSP operations, and the programming of such hardware (often in assembly language) for maximum performance is a skill that must be acquired.
DSP need not require a DSP chip; it is (usually) a series of rather simple mathematical operations on a set of numbers representing a signal.
The key to DSP is that instead of using op-amps, resistors, and other analog electronics to process an analog signal, you can use a microprocessor (or specialized microprocessor, as in a DSP chip) to perform mathematical operations on that list of numbers (the digital signal) to achieve the same (or better) effect.

 Linux DSP Shell
The desired outcomes for the Linux DSP Shell, were defined at the outset but as the project progressed these ``flexible'' items tended to change.
In the simplified DSP Shell, a daemon (long-lived background process) controls the XPG-1000 subsystem via the Dipix XVL library function calls, and the script interacts with the daemon through named p ipes(FIFOs) as shown in Figure 1.
However, the final goal of the ongoing Linux DSP Shell project is to fully implement this shell with support for a range of DSP solutions in addition to the Dipix XPG.

The first DSP produced by Texas Instruments (TI), the TMS32010 presented in 1983, proved to be an even bigger success, and TI is now the market leader in general purpose DSPs.
Most DSPs use fixed-point arithmetic, because in real world signal processing, the additional range provided by floating point is not needed, and there is a large speed benefit; however, floating point DSPs are common for scientific and other applications where additional range or precision may be required.
Generally, DSPs are dedicated integrated circuits, however DSP functionality can also be realized using Field Programmable Gate Array chips.

 DSP chips take on many forms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
For example, FPGAs coupled with DSPs have been employed in high volume for cellular base stations, with the FPGA providing the heavy lifting through a hundred or more multipliers, instead of the two or four that are in the DSP that they boost.
Consequently, virtually all processors claim at least some level of DSP capability, from motor control at the low end of performance to audio and communications at the mid-level and to video at the high end.
Then there are hardwired DSPs required for extreme high-speed computation, such as MPEG-4 or H.264 encoding, and they tend to be based on state machines rather than conventional DSP cores.
