TI's new memory/DSP module. May be used in DVD applications? techweb.cmp.com <<Called Basava, the individual modules can fit in a standard 168-pin memory-module slot on a Pentium-II based motherboard or into the 144-pin slot in a portable computer. The module looks and behaves like a standard SDRAM bank to the processor and operating system, but can be awakened on command to rapidly perform a high-Mips DSP task. When the task is completed, the Basava returns to its role as a dumb memory module.>> *** <<The module offers performance that's almost an order-of-magnitude improvement over DSP cards that rely on the PCI bus to communicate data and instructions. And it makes little impact on system memory when DSP tasks are not being performed.>> *** <<Basava will be particularly useful for audio and video DSP tasks like DVD playback or motion JPEG compression, said Pawate.>>
