Drawbacks of High-End GPPs
Even when their performance is competitive, high-
end GPPs don't usually replace DSPs because of:
- Unpredictable execution times
- Poor cost-performance relative to fixed-point DSPs
- High energy consumption
- A lack of DSP-oriented development tools
- Integration difficulties
If a high-end GPP is incumbent, it may make sense
to use it for DSP work. Otherwise, it's often
