DSP Floating-Point 32-Bit 50MHz 60MIPS 352-Pin BGA

The MVP parallel processor (PP) is a programmable DSP-like 32-bit integer processor with a 64-bit instruction word that is optimized for imaging and graphics applications. It supports the filtering and frequency domain operations required for image processing. The PP can execute in parallel a multiply, an ALU operation (such as a shift-and-add), and two memory accesses, within one single-cycle instruction.The PP has a three-input ALU that supports all 256 Boolean combinations of three inputs and many combinations of arithmetic and Boolean functions. Data merging and bit-to-byte, bit-tohalfword, and bit-to-word translations are supported by hardware along the input data path to the ALU. These merging and translation operations allow the PP to accelerate graphics applications such as windowing environments. The internal parallelism allows a single PP to achieve over 500 million operations per second for certain algorithms.
