Abstract

The gap between the performance capacity of general-purpose DSP processors and the requirements of the new broadband communication technologies will widen exponentially over the next several years. The only alternative to general-purpose processors previously available to DSP developers were ASICs. With the introduction of advanced FPGA architectures such Xilinx's Virtex-II, QuickLogic's QuickDSP, and Altera's Stratix, a new hardware approach is available for DSP designers that combines the benefits of general-purpose processors with the performance advantage of ASICs.
