Learning outcomes
The student can classify the special features of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications and their effect on implementations and processor architectures. Especially, students can name the architectural features of fixed-point DSP processors and can develop a program with fractional data representation. The student can describe the evolution of DSP processors and can assess the applicability of general purpose processors in DSP tasks.
