A programming algorithm reduces from theta (2N2) to theta (N2) the number of multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) instructions required to perform a discrete-time convolution on a programmable digital signal processor. Through the use of a single repeat instruction along with a single repeat count register, the algorithm dynamically changes the number of times the multiply-accumulate instruction is repeated depending upon the current term being convolved. The avoids performing the multiply-accumulate when one term is zero. The nature of the discrete-time convolution calculation and the flexibility of a re-programmable single repeat count register offers permits this. Additional instructions are required for data pointer alignment. The trade-off between reduced multiply-accumulate operations and the overhead required to achieve it is examined.
