11.2. The Diamond 330HiFi: A High-Performance audio DSP Core
The Diamond 330HiFi audio DSP architecture contains all of the basic elements of the Xtensa ISA. It has a 32-entry general-purpose register file, a 5-stage execution pipeline, and 32-bit addressing. This execution pipeline has been augmented with several audio instructions to reduce the number of cycles needed to execute audio-codec firmware. In addition, the Diamond 330HiFi audio DSP has a second set of register files and execution pipeline giving the processor core the ability to execute two independent instructions per clock. The Diamond 330HiFi audio DSP’s two execution pipelines are not symmetric, as shown in Figure 11.2. The first execution pipeline, associated with operation ...
