Abstract
The role of software is becoming increasingly important in the
implementation of DSP applications. As this trend intensifies, and the
complexity of applications escalates, we are seeing an increased need for
automated tools to aid in the development of DSP software. This paper
reviews the state of the art in programming language and compiler
technology for DSP software implementation. In particular, we review
techniques for high level, block-diagram-based modeling of DSP
applications; the translation of block diagram specifications into
efficient C programs using global, target-independent optimization
techniques; and the compilation of C programs into streamlined machine
code for programmable DSP processors, using architecture-specific and
retargetable back-end optimizations. In our review, we also point out some
important directions for further investigation.
