Programmable DSP processors are growing tremendously and are being implemented in a variety of applications. To keep pace with this explosive growth, Xilinx® is expanding and enhancing its XtremeDSP™ processing solution. We’ve added dedicated DSP elements into our FPGAs to make it easier and more cost- and power-efficient to achieve performance levels previously only possible in custom ASICs.

The Xilinx solution is the perfect match with programmable DSP processors. The Xilinx tool suite allows you to very easily develop massively parallel digital signal processing engines that can do the “heavy lifting” in a complementary fashion to programmable DSPs.

Providing extremely high-performance DSP solutions has become so important at Xilinx that we have recently created a DSP division. We are consolidating our DSP resources and creating focused development platforms and reference designs to help designers of high-performance DSPs get up to speed on our solution quickly and cost effectively.

In the following series, you will find articles on prototyping, developing, implementing, and analyzing in the context of real-world, high-performance DSP applications, using tools from Xilinx and our partners.
