The better to fully exploit the power of the processor. Using SHARC
floating point family here at work, where use of assembly language
programming allows maximum utilization of the dual FPUs in SIMD mode.
Now working with an X version of the new SHARC 469 part, clocked near
max, with a 48 kHz sample rate, 9 x 1024 = 9216 instructions per audio
frame are available - truly an embarrassment of riches!
