<p>Efficient computation of complex multiplication results and very efficient fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) are provided. A parallel array VLIW digital signal processor (100) is employed along with specialized complex multiplication instructions and communication operations between the processing elements (101, 151, 153, 155) which are overlapped with computation to provide very high performance operation. Successive iterations of a loop of tightly packed VLIWs (100) are used allowing the complex multiplication pipeline hardware to be efficiently used. In addition, efficient techniques for supporting combined multiply accumulate operations are described.</p> |
