The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (ieee) calls the PSC1000 a "screamer" ..personally i'm yawning..he can scream all he wants~~~~~~~ Re: DSP Magazine - Free Subscription From Jerry Avins <jya@ieee.org> Organization The Hectic Eclectic Date Thu, 15 Jul 1999 18:55:05 -0400 Newsgroups comp.dsp Message-ID <378E66C9.15AD@ieee.org> References 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Brian Pedersen wrote: > > Jerry Avins wrote: > > > > Brian Pedersen wrote: > > > > > > Lasse Langwadt Christensen wrote: > > > > > > > > Art Du Rea: NoGargbageIn:NoGarbageOut wrote: > > > > > > > > > > On Tue, 13 Jul 1999 19:28:45 -0400, Jerry Avins <jya@ieee.org> wrote: > > > > > >Here's an excerpt from an article on embedded controllers there: > > > > > > > > > > > >"Because the arithmetic hardware in a digital signal processor chip is > > > > > >very specialized, it provides high-level computation operations, even at > > > > > >the assembly language level.

That's what I mean, too. Look at ptsc.com This processor is a slight modification of, and successor to, the ShBoom. It runs native Forth, and Java is so close to that that it's simple to construct a JVM on it. That's the current marketing emphasis. For it's transistor count, it's a screamer.
