Whiteboard Wednesdays – Why a New DSP Is Needed to Support Today's Sensors

In this week’s Whiteboard Wednesdays, Chris Rowen highlights the requirements of the wide variety of sensors – environmental, motion, audio, and imaging. He'll cover data rates, sample rates, and levels of computation associated with sensors. He'll also discuss why, since computational requirements vary so much, a new DSP is needed. The Tensilica Fusion DSP uses a very flexible architecture that can be tailored for the computation required by whatever sensor you use.
