	Jan Jelinek & Computer Soup: Improvisations and Edits: Tokyo 26.09.2001: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Jelinek's relationship with jazz was a little fuzzy through his first three full-lengths, but this excellent collaboration with Japanese electronic improv trio Computer Soup makes the connection plain.
		What makes the record remarkable is the way it refers back to the patterns and history of jazz, as well as our collective memories of the genre, while still managing to sound like another strand of music altogether.
		DSP jazz modes are set against a walking bassline (possibly computer generated) and a gently tooted trumpet complete with Harmon mute, a dead ringer for Miles Davis' Prestige-era ballads.

		The goal of any designer placing DSP functionality into their chip is to create an optimal balance between performance, die size, and power.
		For evaluating most DSP solutions, the only way to reduce data memory requirements is through algorithmic techniques; for the purposes of this article, we can assume all solutions require the same data memory.
		Critical to these customizable DSP processors is a solid architectural foundation, the ability to add and remove data path resources flexibly in the processor, and the ability to customize memory bandwidth and access.

		Live music performed in a jazz club, a rock concert venue or a symphony in a concert hall always has a sound that is unique to that particular venue.
		When Jazz Club mode is selected, for instance, you are listening to the acoustical characteristics of a real jazz club.
		Although the frequency response, dynamic range, and channel separation are exceptional, the sound field produced is not the same sound field you would experience in a good theater--mostly because your living room is not the same size as a movie theater.

		The focus of my work has been to investigate fast computer arithmetic algorithms to be used to create a more efficient multiplier-accumulator (MAC) unit for use in Improv Systems' Jazz DSP processor.
		Therefore, to increase the throughput of a processor, methods to improve the speed at which these arithmetic operations are computed need to be studied.
		The multiply-accumulate unit for the Jazz DSP has two outputs: the product of a and b, and the MAC result.

	Embedded Processor Watch #160; 03/31/2003
		Improv Systems' Jazz DSP Processor is a VLIW embedded-processor architecture with a two-stage instruction pipeline and a mix of heterogeneous, single-cycle execution, user-designed computer units.
		EEMBC scores for the Jazz DSP, derived from optimized versions of the EEMBC benchmarks, revealed that the performance of this DSP was almost too good to be true.
		When we compare the optimized results for the ZSP500 and the Jazz XT, we find that the Jazz XT sports large performance gains over the ZSP500 for the Telecom benchmarks, but consuming several times the code memory space in the process.
