What are SHARC Processors?
1-6 Getting Started With SHARC Processors
First generation SHARC products offer performance of up to
66 MHz/198 MFLOPS and form the cornerstone of the SHARC proces-
sor family. Their easy-to-use instruction set architecture that supports
both 32-bit fixed-point and 32/40-bit floating-point data formats, com-
bined with large memory arrays and sophisticated communications ports,
make them suitable for a wide array of parallel processing applications
including consumer audio, medical imaging, military, industrial, and
instrumentation.
Second generation SHARC products double the level of signal processing
performance (100 MHz/600 MFLOPS) by utilizing a single-instruction,
multiple-data (SIMD) architecture. This hardware extension doubles the
number of computational resources available to the system programmer.
Second generation products contain dual multipliers, ALUs, shifters, and
data register files, significantly increasing overall system performance in a
