Abstract

A set of nonproprietary extensions is introduced to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C programming language (HLL) for digital signal processing (DSP) and numeric applications. The problems of using C as it exists today for DSP applications are defined, and solutions are proposed. This work is an interpretation of the work being done by the Numeric C Extensions Group (NCEG), a working group of the ANSI X3J11 committee. The Analog Devices ADSP-21000 family of IEEE floating-point digital signal processors is used to illustrate how these extensions solve the problems mentioned
