Texas Instruments: Unleashing full multicore entitlement: KeyStone multicore architecture for C66x DSPs

Engineering TV >> 
TI�s new KeyStone multicore architecture is truly a game changer, providing the highest MIPS with the lowest power for multicore DSPs in the industry. KeyStone is based on TI�s new TMS320C66x multicore DSPs that integrate fixed and floating point capabilities in the industry�s highest performing CPU. The new architecture provides the flexibility to include targeted coprocessing, fixed- and floating-point operations, optimized inter-element communications, and a variety of processor types. KeyStone incorporates DSP cores capable of both 32 GMACs per core for fixed-point operations and 16 GFLOPS for floating-point operations. This represents a performance boost that far exceeds the expectation of Moore�s Law in a single generation and also brings to market the first floating-point processor capable of operating at the highest DSP performance levels.

Texas Instruments: DSP core and memory architecture improvements: KeyStone multicore architecture for C66x DSPs

Engineering TV >> 
In a multicore SoC environment, memory efficiency is crucial for the system performance. TI�s KeyStone architecture offers a highly memory efficient architecture, which is critical for multicore system performance. KeyStone includes TI�s newest TMS320CC66x DSP core, which supports both fixed point and floating point operations. It doubles the data paths for load & store and multiplication and cross-paths. It also quadruples the register files to create 128-bit values. With upgraded instruction sets, the C66x DSP core is optimized for complex arithmetic and linear algebra and provides 4 times MAC capability over existing solutions. At the same time, it provides full binary compatibility with TI�s C64x+ and C674x+ DSPs.
