Pocket Guide to Processors for DSP
BDTI's 'Pocket Guide to Processors for DSP' is a compact, one-page summary of the key features of 42 different families of DSP processors and cores from 11 vendors. The Pocket Guide includes information on each family's arithmetic type, data width, instruction width, speed, relative DSP performance (based a BDTI composite DSP benchmark score, the BDTImark2000 or BDTIsimMark2000), address space, voltage, and unique features.

X5-GSPS
PCI Express XMC Module with Two 8-bit National ADC08D1500 A/Ds, Virtex5 FPGA and 512 MB Memory. The X5-GSPS is an XMC I/O module featuring two 8-bit, National Semiconductor 1.5 GSPS ADC08D1500 A/Ds with a Virtex5 FPGA computing core, DRAM and SRAM memory, and eight lane PCI Express host interface. A Xilinx Virtex5 SX95T with 512 MB DDR2 DRAM and 4MB QDR-II memory provide a very high performance DSP core for demanding applications such as emerging wireless standards. The close integration of the analog IO, memory and host interface with the FPGA enables real-time signal processing at extremely high rates exceeding 300 GMACs per second.
