We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "DSP platform",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release DSP-optimised FPGAs available in volume from
Xilinx, which we summarised at the time by saying "All three devices in the 65nm Virtex-5 SXT family are production-qualified and supported by the XtremeDSP portfolio of development tools and IP".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release DSP platform offers expansion options from
Octasic: "Vocallo is based on Opus, Octasic's DSP core architecture, which offers the highest performance-to-power ratio in the industry with a traditional programming model".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Octasic
concerning its Opus DSP architecture
- take a look at Architecture transforms DSP design
which says: "The Opus architecture solves the most pressing issue of the DSP industry, power consumption".
Take a look also at the news release from Texas Instruments (April 2006-), DSP boosts channel density,
as well as DSP platform offers low-cost solution from Xilinx,
and FPGA software simplifies I/O assignment from Xilinx.
