TMS320C6000 High Performance Multicore DSPs
The C6000 high-performance multicore DSP platform includes a range of device choices for multicore processing for high power, low cost performance. The platform’s multicore processing and low power capabilities are ideal for medical imaging, test and automation, mission critical, video infrastructure and high-end imaging. Devices include TI's C66x generation of multicore processors, based on the KeyStone architecture, that combine both fixed- and floating-point capabilities to deliver up to 10 GHz of performance, as well as TI’s C647x high-performance, low power multicore DSPs.
- TMS320 C6000 series, or TMS320C6x VLIW based DSP's.
- TMS320C62x fixed point /2000 MIPS/1.9 Watts
- TMS320C64x fixed point - code compatible with TMS320C62x (also known as C64, C64x, and C64x+)
- TMS320C67x floating point - code compatible with TMS320C62x
Other parts which include C6000 series DSPs include the DaVinci chips, which include one or both of an ARM9 and a C64x+ fixed point DSP; OMAP-L13x chips include an ARM9 (ARMv5TEJ) and a C67x floating point DSP; OMAP243x chips combine an ARM11 (ARMv6) with a C64x series DSP; OMAP3 and OMAP4 chips include an ARM Cortex-A8 or A9 (ARMv7) and frequently a fixed point C64x+ DSP. TMS320C55x generation - fixed point, runs C54x code but adds more internal parallelism (another ALU, dual MAC, more memory bandwidth) and registers, while supporting much lower power operation.
