Conference Paper

Designer Silicon Architectures for Audio

Authors: Bore, Chris

AES Conference: UK 16th Conference: Silicon for Audio · Paper uk064 · April 2001

Abstract

Traditional audio DSP design focuses on optimising for simple benchmarks such as multiply/accumulate (MAC) times, filters and FFTs. Increasing complexity of digital audio applications, and convergence with other media including video and data, means that a very much wider variety of functions need to be addressed. This paper describes an approach to audio silicon architecture design that is based on optimising for a range of complex generic benchmarks, matched to the needs of diverse markets, rather than focussing narrowly on a simple set of mathematical operations.
