About This Manual


Welcome to the TMS320C64x digital signal processor (DSP) Library, or
DSPLIB for short. The DSPLIB is a collection of high-level optimized DSP func-
tions for the TMS320C64x device. This source code library includes C-callable
functions (ANSI-C language compatible) for general signal processing math
and vector functions.
This document contains a reference for the DSPLIB functions and is organized
as follows:
- Overview − an introduction to the TI C64x DSPLIB

- DSPLIB Functions − a quick reference table listing of routines in the library

- DSPLIB Reference − a description of all DSPLIB functions complete with


calling convention, algorithm details, special requirements and imple-
mentation notes
- Information about performance, Fractional Q format and customer sup-
port

Introduction to the TI C64x DSPLIB

1.1 Introduction to the TI C64x DSPLIB

The TI C64x DSPLIB is an optimized DSP Function Library for C programmers


using TMS320C64x devices. It includes many C-callable, assembly-opti-
mized, general-purpose signal-processing routines. These routines are typi-
cally used in computationally intensive real-time applications where optimal
execution speed is critical. By using these routines, you can achieve execution
speeds considerably faster than equivalent code written in standard ANSI C
language. In addition, by providing ready-to-use DSP functions, TI DSPLIB
can significantly shorten your DSP application development time.

The TI DSPLIB includes commonly used DSP routines. Source code is pro-
vided that allows you to modify functions to match your specific needs.

The routines contained in the library are organized into the following seven dif-
ferent functional categories:

- Adaptive filtering

J DSP_firlms2

- Correlation

J DSP_autocor

- FFT

sure you update the C_DIR environment variable, for example, by adding the
following line in autoexec.bat file:
SET C_DIR=<install_dir>/lib;<install_dir>/include;%C_DIR%

or under Unix/csh:
setenv C_DIR ”<install_dir>/lib;<install_dir>/include;
$C_DIR”

or under Unix/Bourne Shell:


C_DIR=”<install_dir>/lib;<install_dir>/include;$C_DIR”;
export C_DIR

Code Composer Studio Users

If you set up a project under Code Composer Studio, you could add DSPLIB by
choosing dsp64x.lib from the menu Project → Add Files to Project. Also, you
should make sure that you link with the correct run-time support library and
DSPLIB by having the following lines in your linker command file:
−lrts6400.lib
−ldsp64x.lib

The include directory contains the header files necessary to be included in the
C code when you call a DSPLIB function from C code.

2.2.1 DSPLIB Arguments and Data Types

2.2.1.1 DSPLIB Types

Table 2−1 shows the data types handled by the DSPLIB.

Table 2−1. DSPLIB Data Types

Size
Name (bits) Type Minimum Maximum
short 16 integer −32768 32767

int 32 integer −2147483648 2147483647

IEEE double 64 floating point 2.2250738585072014e−308 1.7976931348623157e+308

Unless specifically noted, DSPLIB operates on Q.15-fractional data type ele-


ments. Appendix A presents an overview of Fractional Q formats.

2.2.1.2 DSPLIB Arguments

TI DSPLIB functions typically operate over vector operands for greater effi-
ciency. Even though these routines can be used to process short arrays, or
even scalars (unless a minimum size requirement is noted), they will be slower
for these cases.

- Vector stride is always equal to 1: Vector operands are composed of vector


elements held in consecutive memory locations (vector stride equal to 1).

- Complex elements are assumed to be stored in consecutive memory loca-


tions with Real data followed by Imaginary data.

- In-place computation is not allowed, unless specifically noted: Source op-


erand cannot be equal to destination operand.

Using DSPLIB

2.2.2 Calling a DSPLIB Function From C

In addition to correctly installing the DSPLIB software, you must follow these
steps to include a DSPLIB function in your code:

- Include the function header file corresponding to the DSPLIB function

- Link your code with dsp64x.lib

- Use a correct linker command file for the platform you use. Remember
most functions in dsp64x.lib are written assuming little-endian mode of op-
eration.

For example, if you want to call the Autocorrelation DSPLIB function, you
would add:
#include <DSP_autocor.h>

in your C file and compile and link using


cl6x main.c –z –o autocor_drv.out –lrts6400.lib −
ldsp64x.lib

Code Composer Studio Users

Assuming your C_DIR environment is correctly set up (as mentioned in Sec-


tion 2.1, How to Install DSPLIB), you would have to add DSPLIB under Code
Composer Studio environment by choosing dsp64x.lib from the menu Proj-
ect → Add Files to Project. Also, you should make sure that you link with the
correct run-time support library and DSPLIB by having the following lines in
your linker command file:
−lrts6400.lib
−ldsp64x.lib

2.2.3 Calling a DSP Function From Assembly

The C64x DSPLIB functions were written to be used from C. Calling the func-
tions from assembly language source code is possible as long as the calling
function conforms to the Texas Instruments C64x C compiler calling conven-
tions. For more information, refer to Section 8 (Runtime Environment) of
TMS320C6000 Optimizing C Compiler User’s Guide (SPRU187).

2.2.4 How DSPLIB is Tested − Allowable Error

DSPLIB is tested under the Code Composer Studio environment against a ref-
erence C implementation. You can expect identical results between Reference
C implementation and its Assembly implementation when using test routines
that deal with fixed-point type results. The test routines that deal with floating
points typically allow an error margin of 0.000001 when comparing the results
of reference C code and DSPLIB assembly code.

2.2.5 How DSPLIB Deals With Overflow and Scaling Issues

The DSPLIB functions implement the same functionality of the reference C


code. The user is expected to conform to the range requirements specified in
the API function, and in addition, take care to restrict the input range in such a
way that the outputs do not overflow.

In FFT functions, twiddle factors are generated with a fixed scale factor, i.e.,
32767(=2^15−1) for all 16-bit FFT functions, 1073741823(=2^30−1) for
DSP_fft32x32s, 2147483647(=2^31−1) for all other 32-bit FFT functions.
Twiddle factors cannot be scaled further to not scale input data. Since
DSP_fft16x16r and DSP_fft32x32s performs scaling by 2 at each radix-4
stage, the input data must be scaled by 2^ (log2(nx)−cei[log4(nx)−1]) to com-
pletely prevent overflow. In all other FFT functions, the input data must be
scaled by 2^ (log2(nx)) since no scaling is done by the functions.

Using DSPLIB

2.2.6 Interrupt Behavior of DSPLIB Functions

All of the functions in this library are designed to be used in systems with inter-
rupts. That is, it is not necessary to disable interrupts when calling any of these
functions. The functions in the library will disable interrupts as needed to pro-
tect the execution of code in tight loops and so on. Functions in this library fall
into three categories:

- Fully-interruptible: These functions do not disable interrupts. Interrupts


are blocked by at most 5 to 10 cycles at a time (not counting stalls) by
branch delay slots.

- Partially-interruptible: These functions disable interrupts for long peri-


ods of time, with small windows of interruptibility. Examples include a func-
tion with a nested loop, where the inner loop is non-interruptible and the
outer loop permits interrupts between executions of the inner loop.

- Non-interruptible: These functions disable interrupts for nearly their en-


tire duration. Interrupts may happen for a short time during their setup and
exit sequence.

Note that all three categories of function tolerate interrupts. That is, an interrupt
can occur at any time without affecting the correctness of the function. The in-
terruptibility of the function only determines how long the kernel might delay
the processing of the interrupt.

DSP_bitrev_cplx

4.3 FFT

DSP_bitrev_cplx Complex Bit-Reverse

NOTE: This function is provided for backward compatibility with the C62x
DSPLIB. It has not been optimized for the C64x architecture. The user is ad-
vised to use one of the newly added FFT functions which have been optimized
for the C64x.

Function void DSP_bitrev_cplx (int *x, short *index, int nx)

Arguments x[nx] Pointer to complex input vector x of size nx

index[ ] Array of size ∼sqrt(nx) created by the routine digitrev_index


(provided in the directory ‘support\fft’).

nx Number of elements in vector x. nx must be a power of 2.

Description This function bit-reverses the position of elements in complex vector x. This
function is used in conjunction with FFT routines to provide the correct format
for the FFT input or output data. The bit-reversal of a bit-reversed order array
yields a linear-order array.

Algorithm TI retains all rights, title and interest in this code and only authorizes the use
of this code on TI TMS320 DSPs manufactured by TI. This is the C equivalent
of the assembly code without restrictions. Note that the assembly code is hand
optimized and restrictions may apply.

}

Special Requirements
- nx must be a power of 2.

- The array index[] is generated by the routine bitrev_index provided in the


directory ‘support\fft’.

- If nx ≤ 4K, one can use the char (8-bit) data type for the “index” variable.
This would require changing the LDH when loading index values in the as-
sembly routine to LDB. This would further reduce the size of the Index
Table by half its size.

Implementation Notes
- Endian: The code is LITTLE ENDIAN.

- Interruptibility: The code is interrupt-tolerant but not interruptible.

DSP_fft

DSP_fft Complex Forward FFT With Digital Reversal

Function void DSP_fft (const short * restrict w, int nx, short * restrict x, short * restrict y)

Arguments w[2*nx] Pointer to vector of Q.15 FFT coefficients of size 2 * nx


elements. Must be double-word aligned.

nx Number of complex elements in vector x. Must be a power of


4 and 4 ≤ nx ≤ 65536.

x[2*nx] Pointer to input sequence of size 2 * nx elements. Must be


double-word aligned.

y[2*nx] Pointer to output sequence of size 2 * nx elements. Must be


double-word aligned.

Description This routine is used to compute an FFT of a complex sequence of size nx, a
power of 4, with “decimation-in-frequency decomposition” method. The output
is returned in a separate array y in normal order. This routine also performs
digit reversal as a special last step. Each complex value is stored as inter-
leaved 16-bit real and imaginary parts. The code uses a special ordering of
FFT factors and memory accesses to improve performance in the presence
of cache.

Description This routine implements a cache-optimized complex forward mixed radix FFT
with scaling, rounding and digit reversal. Input data x[ ], output data y[ ] and
coefficients w[ ] are 16-bit. The output is returned in the separate array y[ ] in
normal order. Each complex value is stored as interleaved 16-bit real and
imaginary parts. The code uses a special ordering of FFT coefficients (also
called twiddle factors).

This redundant set of twiddle factors is size 2*N short samples. As pointed out
later dividing these twiddle factors by 2 will give an effective divide by 4 at each
stage to guarantee no overflow. The function is accurate to about 68dB of sig-
nal to noise ratio to the DFT function below:
void dft(int n, short x[], short y[])
{
int k,i, index;
const double PI = 3.14159654;
short * p_x;
double arg, fx_0, fx_1, fy_0, fy_1, co, si;

C64x DSPLIB Reference 4-23


DSP_fft16x16r

for(k = 0; k<n; k++)


{
p_x = x;
fy_0 = 0;
fy_1 = 0;
for(i=0; i<n; i++)
{
fx_0 = (double)p_x[0];
fx_1 = (double)p_x[1];
p_x += 2;
index = (i*k) % n;
arg = 2*PI*index/n;
co = cos(arg);
si = −sin(arg);
fy_0 += ((fx_0 * co) − (fx_1 * si));
fy_1 += ((fx_1 * co) + (fx_0 * si));
}
y[2*k] = (short)2*fy_0/sqrt(n);
y[2*k+1] = (short)2*fy_1/sqrt(n);
}
}

Scaling by 2 (i.e., >>1) takes place at each radix−4 stage except the last one.
A radix−4 stage could give a maximum bit−growth of 2 bits, which would re-
quire scaling by 4. To completely prevent overflow, the input data must be
scaled by 2^(BT−BS), where BT (total number of bit growth) = log2(nx) and BS
(number of scales by the functions) = ceil[log4(nx)−1]. All shifts are rounded
to reduce truncation noise power by 3dB.

The function takes the twiddle factors and input data, and calculates the FFT
producing the frequency domain data in the y[ ] array. As the FFT allows every
input point to effect every output point, in a cache based system this causes
cache thrashing. This is mitigated by allowing the main FFT of size N to be di-
vided into several steps, allowing as much data reuse as possible. For exam-
ple the following function:

DSP_fft16x16r(1024,&x[0], &w[0], y,brev,4, 0,1024);

is equivalent to:

4-24
DSP_fft16x16r

DSP_fft16x16r(1024,&x[2*0], &w[0] ,y,brev,256, 0,1024);


DSP_fft16x16r(256, &x[2*0], &w[2*768],y,brev,4, 0,1024);
DSP_fft16x16r(256, &x[2*256],&w[2*768],y,brev,4, 256,1024);
DSP_fft16x16r(256, &x[2*512],&w[2*768],y,brev,4, 512,1024);
DSP_fft16x16r(256, &x[2*768],&w[2*768],y,brev,4, 768,1024);

Notice how the 1st FFT function is called on the entire 1K data set it covers the
1st pass of the FFT until the butterfly size is 256.

The following 4 FFTs do 256-point FFTs 25% of the size. These continue down
to the end when the butterfly is of size 4. They use an index to the main twiddle
factor array of 0.75*2*N. This is because the twiddle factor array is composed
of successively decimated versions of the main array.

N not equal to a power of 4 can be used, i.e. 512. In this case to decompose
the FFT the following would be needed :

DSP_fft16x16r(512, &x[0], &w[0], y,brev,2, 0,512);

is equivalent to:
DSP_fft16x16r(512, &x[0], &w[0], y,brev,128, 0,512);
DSP_fft16x16r(128, &x[2*0], &w[2*384],y,brev,2, 0,512);
DSP_fft16x16r(128, &x[2*128],&w[2*384],y,brev,2, 128,512);
DSP_fft16x16r(128, &x[2*256],&w[2*384],y,brev,2, 256,512);
DSP_fft16x16r(128, &x[2*384],&w[2*384],y,brev,2, 384,512);

The twiddle factor array is composed of log4(N) sets of twiddle factors, (3/4)*N,
(3/16)*N, (3/64)*N, etc. The index into this array for each stage of the FFT is
calculated by summing these indices up appropriately. For multiple FFTs they
can share the same table by calling the small FFTs from further down in the
twiddle factor array, in the same way as the decomposition works for more data
reuse.

Thus, the above decomposition can be summarized for a general N, radix “rad”
as follows:
DSP_fft16x16r(N, &x[0], &w[0], brev,y,N/4,0, N)
DSP_fft16x16r(N/4,&x[0], &w[2*3*N/4],brev,y,rad,0, N)
DSP_fft16x16r(N/4,&x[2*N/4], &w[2*3*N/4],brev,y,rad,N/4, N)
DSP_fft16x16r(N/4,&x[2*N/2], &w[2*3*N/4],brev,y,rad,N/2, N)
DSP_fft16x16r(N/4,&x[2*3*N/4],&w[2*3*N/4],brev,y,rad,3*N/4,N)

As discussed previously, N can be either a power of 4 or 2. If N is a power of


4, then rad = 4, and if N is a power of 2 and not a power of 4, then rad = 2. “rad”

C64x DSPLIB Reference 4-25


DSP_fft16x16r

is used to control how many stages of decomposition are performed. It is also


used to determine whether a radix4 or DSP_radix2 decomposition should be
performed at the last stage. Hence when “rad” is set to “N/4” the first stage of
the transform alone is performed and the code exits. To complete the FFT, four
other calls are required to perform N/4 size FFT’s. In fact, the ordering of these
4 FFT’s amongst themselves does not matter and hence from a cache per-
spective, it helps to go through the remaining 4 FFTs in exactly the opposite
order to the first. This is illustrated as follows:
DSP_fft16x16r(N, &x[0], &w[0], brev,y,N/4,0, N)
DSP_fft16x16r(N/4,&x[2*3*N/4],&w[2*3*N/4],brev,y,rad,3*N/4, N)
DSP_fft16x16r(N/4,&x[2*N/2], &w[2*3*N/4],brev,y,rad,N/2, N)
DSP_fft16x16r(N/4,&x[2*N/4], &w[2*3*N/4],brev,y,rad,N/4, N)
DSP_fft16x16r(N/4,&x[0], &w[2*3*N/4],brev,y,rad,0, N)

In addition this function can be used to minimize call overhead, by completing


the FFT with one function call invocation as shown below:
DSP_fft16x16r(N, &x[0], &w[0], y, brev, rad, 0, N)

tw_fft16x16 provided in the directory ‘support\fft’. The scale factor must be
32767.5. The input data must be scaled by 2^ (log2(nx)−ceil[log4(nx)−1])
to completely prevent overflow.

Implementation Notes
- Bank Conflicts: No bank conflicts occur.

- Endian: The code is LITTLE ENDIAN.

- Interruptibility: The code is interrupt-tolerant but not interruptible.

- The routine uses log4(nx) − 1 stages of radix-4 transform and performs ei-
ther a radix-2 or radix-4 transform on the last stage depending on nx. If nx

C64x DSPLIB Reference 4-31


DSP_fft16x16r

is a power of 4,then this last stage is also a radix-4 transform, otherwise


it is a radix-2 transform.

- A special sequence of coefficients used as generated above produces the


FFT. This collapses the inner 2 loops in the traditional Burrus and Parks
implementation.

- The revised FFT uses a redundant sequence of twiddle factors to allow a


linear access through the data. This linear access enables data and in-
struction level parallelism.

- The butterfly is bit reversed, i.e. the inner 2 points of the butterfly are
crossed over, this has the effect of making the data come out in bit re-
versed rather than in radix 4 digit reversed order. This simplifies the last
pass of the loop. The BITR instruction is used to do the bit reversal out of
place.

DSP_fft16x16t Complex Forward Mixed Radix 16- x 16-bit FFT With Truncation

Function void DSP_fft16x16t(const short * restrict w, int nx, short * restrict x, short * re-
strict y)

Arguments w[2*nx] Pointer to complex Q.15 FFT coefficients.

nx Length of FFT in complex samples. Must be power of 2 or 4


, and 16 ≤ nx ≤ 32768.

x[2*nx] Pointer to complex 16-bit data input.

y[2*nx] Pointer to complex 16-bit data output.

Description This routine computes a complex forward mixed radix FFT with truncation and
digit reversal. Input data x[ ], output data y[ ] and coefficients w[ ] are 16-bit.
The output is returned in the separate array y[ ] in normal order. Each complex
value is stored with interleaved real and imaginary parts. The code uses a spe-
cial ordering of FFT coefficients (also called twiddle factors) and memory ac-
cesses to improve performance in the presence of cache.

Algorithm This is the C equivalent of the assembly code without restrictions. Note that
the assembly code is hand optimized and restrictions may apply.

/* P = 1032547698BADCFE is the number after every byte is exchanged. */

Special Requirements
- In-place computation is not allowed.

- The size of the FFT, nx, must be power of 2 or 4, and 16 ≤ nx ≤ 32768.

- The arrays for the complex input data x[ ], complex output data y[ ] and
twiddle factors w[ ] must be double-word aligned.

- The input and output data are complex, with the real/imaginary compo-
nents stored in adjacent locations in the array. The real components are

C64x DSPLIB Reference 4-43


DSP_fft16x16t

stored at even array indices, and the imaginary components are stored at
odd array indices. All data are in short precision or Q.15 format.

- The FFT coefficients (twiddle factors) are generated using the program
tw_fft16x16 provided in the directory ‘support\fft’. The scale factor must be
32767.5. No scaling is done with the function; thus the input data must be
scaled by 2^ log2(nx) to completely prevent overflow.

Implementation Notes
- Bank Conflicts: nx/8 bank conflicts occur.

- Endian: The code is LITTLE ENDIAN.

- Interruptibility: The code is interrupt-tolerant but not interruptible.

The routine uses log4(nx) − 1 stages of radix-4 transform and performs either
a radix-2 or radix-4 transform on the last stage depending on nx. If nx is a pow-
er of 4,then this last stage is also a radix-4 transform, otherwise it is a radix-2
transform. The conventional Cooley Tukey FFT, is written using three loops.
The outermost loop “k” cycles through the stages. There are log N to the base
4 stages in all. The loop “j” cycles through the groups of butterflies with different
twiddle factors, loop “i” reuses the twiddle factors for the different butterflies
within a stage. It is interesting to note the following:

Butterflies With Common


Stage Groups Twiddle Factors Groups*Butterflies

1 N/4 1 N/4

2 N/16 4 N/4

.. .. .. ..

logN 1 N/4 N/4

The following statements can be made based on above observations:

1) Inner loop “i0” iterates a variable number of times. In particular the number
of iterations quadruples every time from 1..N/4. Hence software pipelining
a loop that iterates a variable number of times is not profitable.

2) Outer loop “j” iterates a variable number of times as well. However the
number of iterations is quartered every time from N/4 ..1. Hence the be-
havior in (a) and (b) are exactly opposite to each other.

3) If the two loops “i” and “j” are coalesced together then they will iterate for
a fixed number of times namely N/4. This allows us to combine the “i” and
“j” loops into 1 loop. Optimized implementations will make use of this fact.

4-44
DSP_fft16x16t

In addition the Cooley Tukey FFT accesses three twiddle factors per iteration
of the inner loop, as the butterflies that re-use twiddle factors are lumped to-
gether. This leads to accessing the twiddle factor array at three points each
separated by “ie”. Note that “ie” is initially 1, and is quadrupled with every itera-
tion. Therefore these three twiddle factors are not even contiguous in the array.

In order to vectorize the FFT, it is desirable to access twiddle factor array using
double word wide loads and fetch the twiddle factors needed. In order to do
this a modified twiddle factor array is created, in which the factors WN/4, WN/2,
W3N/4 are arranged to be contiguous. This eliminates the separation between
twiddle factors within a butterfly. However this implies that as the loop is tra-
versed from one stage to another, that we maintain a redundant version of the
twiddle factor array. Hence the size of the twiddle factor array increases as
compared to the normal Cooley Tukey FFT. The modified twiddle factor array
is of size “2 * N” where the conventional Cooley Tukey FFT is of size “3N/4”
where N is the number of complex points to be transformed. The routine that
generates the modified twiddle factor array was presented earlier. With the
above transformation of the FFT, both the input data and the twiddle factor
array can be accessed using double-word wide loads to enable packed data
processing.

The final stage is optimized to remove the multiplication as w0 = 1. This stage


also performs digit reversal on the data, so the final output is in natural order.
In addition if the number of points to be transformed is a power of 2, the final
stage applies a DSP_radix2 pass instead of a radix 4. In any case the outputs
are returned in normal order.

The code shown here performs the bulk of the computation in place. However,
because digit-reversal cannot be performed in-place, the final result is written
to a separate array, y[].

There is one slight break in the flow of packed processing that needs to be
comprehended. The real part of the complex number is in the lower half, and
the imaginary part is in the upper half. The flow breaks in case of “xl0” and “xl1”
because in this case the real part needs to be combined with the imaginary part
because of the multiplication by “j”. This requires a packed quantity like
“xl21xl20” to be rotated as “xl20xl21” so that it can be combined using ADD2’s
and SUB2’s. Hence the natural version of C code shown below is transformed
using packed data processing as shown:

xl0 = x[2 * i0 ] − x[2 * i2 ];


xl1 = x[2 * i0 + 1] − x[2 * i2 + 1];
xl20 = x[2 * i1 ] − x[2 * i3 ];
xl21 = x[2 * i1 + 1] − x[2 * i3 + 1];

C64x DSPLIB Reference 4-45


DSP_fft16x16t

xt1 = xl0 + xl21;


yt2 = xl1 + xl20;
xt2 = xl0 − xl21;
yt1 = xl1 − xl20;

xl1_xl0 = _sub2(x21_x20, x21_x20)


xl21_xl20 = _sub2(x32_x22, x23_x22)
xl20_xl21 = _rotl(xl21_xl20, 16)

yt2_xt1 = _add2(xl1_xl0, xl20_xl21)


yt1_xt2 = _sub2(xl1_xl0, xl20_xl21)

Also notice that xt1, yt1 end up on separate words, these need to be packed
together to take advantage of the packed twiddle factors that have been
loaded. In order for this to be achieved they are re-aligned as follows:

yt1_xt1 = _packhl2(yt1_xt2, yt2_xt1)


yt2_xt2 = _packhl2(yt2_xt1, yt1_xt2)

The packed words “yt1_xt1” allows the loaded “sc” twiddle factor to be used
for the complex multiplies. The real part of the complex multiply is implemented
using DOTP2. The imaginary part of the complex multiply is implemented us-
ing DOTPN2 after the twiddle factors are swizzled within the half word.

(X + jY) ( C + j S) = (XC + YS) + j (YC − XS).

The actual twiddle factors for the FFT are cosine, − sine. The twiddle factors
stored in the table are cosine and sine, hence the sign of the ”sine” term is com-
prehended during multiplication as shown above.

Scaling by 2 (i.e., >>1) takes place at each radix−4 stage except for the last
one. A radix−4 stage can add a maximum of 2 bits, which would require scaling
by 4 to completely prevent overflow. Thus, the input data must be scaled by
2^(log2(nx)−ceil[log4(nx)−1]).

In reality one can re-use fft16x32 to perform IFFT, by first conjugating the input,
performing the FFT, conjugating again. This allows fft16x32 to perform the
IFFT as well. However if the double conjugation needs to be avoided then this
routine uses the same twiddle factors as the FFT and performs an IFFT. The
change in the sign of the twiddle factors is adjusted for in the routine. Hence
this routine uses the same twiddle factors as the fft16x32 routine.

odd array indices.

- The FFT coefficients (twiddle factors) are generated using the program
tw_fft16x32 provided in the directory ‘support\fft’. The scale factor must be
32767.5. No scaling is done with the function; thus the input data must be
scaled by 2^ log2(nx) to completely prevent overflow.

Implementation Notes
- Bank Conflicts: No bank conflicts occur.

- Endian: The code is LITTLE ENDIAN.

- Interruptibility: The code is interrupt-tolerant but not interruptible.

- The routine uses log4(nx) − 1 stages of radix-4 transform and performs ei-
ther a radix-2 or radix-4 transform on the last stage depending on nx. If nx
is a power of 4,then this last stage is also a radix-4 transform, otherwise
it is a radix-2 transform.

DSP_ifft32x32 Complex Inverse Mixed Radix 32- x 32-bit FFT With Rounding

Function void DSP_ifft32x32(const int * restrict w, int nx, int * restrict x, int * restrict y)
Arguments w[2*nx] Pointer to complex 32-bit FFT coefficients.

nx Length of FFT in complex samples. Must be power of 2 or 4, and


16 ≤ nx ≤ 32768.

x[2*nx] Pointer to complex 32-bit data input.

y[2*nx] Pointer to complex 32-bit data output.


Description This routine computes an extended precision complex inverse mixed radix
FFT with rounding and digit reversal. Input data x[ ], output data y[ ] and coeffi-
cients w[ ] are 32-bit. The output is returned in the separate array y[ ] in normal
order. Each complex value is stored with interleaved real and imaginary parts.
The code uses a special ordering of FFT coefficients (also called twiddle fac-
tors) and memory accesses to improve performance in the presence of cache.
In reality one can re-use fft32x32 to perform IFFT, by first conjugating the input,
performing the FFT, conjugating again. This allows fft32x32 to perform the
IFFT as well. However if the double conjugation needs to be avoided then this
routine uses the same twiddle factors as the FFT and performs an IFFT. The
change in the sign of the twiddle factors is adjusted for in the routine. Hence
this routine uses the same twiddle factors as the fft32x32 routine.
Algorithm The C equivalent of the assembly code without restrictions is similar to the one
shown for the fft16x16t routine. For further details refer to the source code of
the C version of this function which is provided with this library. Note that the
assembly code is hand optimized and restrictions may apply.
Special Requirements
- In-place computation is not allowed.

- The size of the IFFT, nx, must be a power of 4 or 2 and greater than or equal
to 16 and less than 32768.
- The arrays for the complex input data x[ ], complex output data y[ ] and
twiddle factors w[ ] must be double-word aligned.
- The input and output data are complex, with the real/imaginary compo-
nents stored in adjacent locations in the array. The real components are
stored at even array indices, and the imaginary components are stored at
odd array indices.
- The FFT coefficients (twiddle factors) are generated using the program
tw_fft32x32 provided in the directory ‘support\fft’. The scale factor must be

strict r, int nh, int nr, int s)

nr Number of samples to calculate. Must be multiple of 4.

s Number of insignificant digits to truncate, e.g., 15 for Q.15

Description This function applies a symmetric filter to the input samples. The filter tap array
h[] provides ‘nh+1’ total filter taps. The filter tap at h[nh] forms the center point
of the filter. The taps at h[nh − 1] through h[0] form a symmetric filter about this
central tap. The effective filter length is thus 2*nh+1 taps.

The filter is performed on 16-bit data with 16-bit coefficients, accumulating in-
termediate results to 40-bit precision. The accumulator is rounded and trun-
cated according to the value provided in ‘s’. This allows a variety of Q-points
to be used.

r[nx] Output vector (16-bit)

Description This routine implements a real all-pole IIR filter in lattice structure (AR lattice).
The filter consists of nk lattice stages. Each stage requires one reflection coef-
ficient k and one delay element b. The routine takes an input vector x[] and re-
turns the filter output in r[]. Prior to the first call of the routine the delay elements
in b[] should be set to zero. The input data may have to be pre-scaled to avoid
overflow or achieve better SNR. The reflections coefficients lie in the range
−1.0 < k < 1.0. The order of the coefficients is such that k[nk−1] corresponds
to the first lattice stage after the input and k[0] corresponds to the last stage.

return int Index for vector element with maximum value.

Description This routine finds the max value of a vector and returns the index of that value.

The input array is treated as 16 separate ”columns” that are interleaved


throughout the array. If values in different columns are equal to the maximum
value, then the element in the leftmost column is returned. If two values within
a column are equal to the maximum, then the one with the lower index is re-
turned. Column takes precedence over index.

Algorithm This is the C equivalent of the assembly code without restrictions. Note that

- The input vector x[ ] must be double-word aligned.

Implementation Notes
- The code is unrolled 16 times to enable the full bandwidth of LDDW and
MAX2 instructions to be utilized. This splits the search into 16 sub-ranges.
The global maximum is then found from the list of maximums of the sub-
ranges. Then, using this offset from the sub-ranges, the global maximum
and the index of it are found using a simple match. For common maxi-
mums in multiple ranges, the index will be different to the above C code.

DSP_mul32

DSP_mul32 32-bit Vector Multiply

Function void DSP_mul32(const int * restrict x, const int * restrict y, int * restrict r, short
nx)

Arguments x[nx] Pointer to input data vector 1 of size nx. Must be double-word
aligned.

y[nx] Pointer to input data vector 2 of size nx. Must be double-word


aligned.

r[nx] Pointer to output data vector of size nx. Must be double-word


aligned.

nx Number of elements in input and output vectors. Must be multiple


of 8 and ≥16.

Description The function performs a Q.31 x Q.31 multiply and returns the upper 32 bits of
the result. The result of the intermediate multiplies are accumulated into a
40-bit long register pair as there could be potential overflow. The contribution
of the multiplication of the two lower 16-bit halves are not considered. The out-
put is in Q.30 format. Results are accurate to least significant bit.

Algorithm In the comments below, X and Y are the two input values. Xhigh and Xlow rep-
resent the upper and lower 16 bits of X. This is the C equivalent of the assembly
code without restrictions. Note that the assembly code is hand optimized and
restrictions may apply.

DSP_recip16

DSP_recip16 16-bit Reciprocal

Function void DSP_recip16 (short *x, short *rfrac, short *rexp, short nx)

Arguments x[nx] Pointer to Q.15 input data vector of size nx.

rfrac[nx] Pointer to Q.15 output data vector for fractional values.

rexp[nx] Pointer to output data vector for exponent values.

nx Number of elements of input and output vectors.

Description This routine returns the fractional and exponential portion of the reciprocal of
an array x[ ] of Q.15 numbers. The fractional portion rfrac is returned in Q.15
format. Since the reciprocal is always greater than 1, it returns an exponent
such that:
(rfrac[i] * 2rexp[i]) = true reciprocal

The output is accurate up to the least significant bit of rfrac, but note that this
bit could carry over and change rexp. For a reciprocal of 0, the procedure will
return a fractional part of 7FFFh and an exponent of 16.

DSP_mat_mul

4.6 Matrix

DSP_mat_mul Matrix Multiplication

Function void DSP_mat_mul(const short * restrict x, int r1, int c1, const short * restrict
y, int c2, short * restrict r, int qs)

Arguments x [r1*c1] Pointer to input matrix of size r1*c1.

r1 Number of rows in matrix x.

c1 Number of columns in matrix x. Also number of rows in y.

y [c1*c2] Pointer to input matrix of size c1*c2.

c2 Number of columns in matrix y.

r [r1*c2] Pointer to output matrix of size r1*c2.

qs Final right−shift to apply to the result.

Description This function computes the expression “r = x * y” for the matrices x and y. The
columnar dimension of x must match the row dimension of y. The resulting ma-
trix has the same number of rows as x and the same number of columns as y.

The values stored in the matrices are assumed to be fixed-point or integer val-
ues. All intermediate sums are retained to 32-bit precision, and no overflow
checking is performed. The results are right-shifted by a user-specified
amount, and then truncated to 16 bits.

Algorithm This is the C equivalent of the assembly code without restrictions. Note that the
assembly code is hand optimized and restrictions may apply.
void DSP_mat_mul(short *x, int r1, int c1, short *y, int c2,
short *r, int qs)
{
int i, j, k;
int sum;

/* −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− */

for (i = 0; i < r1; i++)
for (j = 0; j < c2; j++)
{
sum = 0;

for (k = 0; k < c1; k++)


sum += x[k + i*c1] * y[j + k*c2];

r[j + i*c2] = sum >> qs;


}
}

Special Requirements
- The arrays x[], y[], and r[] are stored in distinct arrays. That is, in-place
processing is not allowed.

- The input matrices have minimum dimensions of at least 1 row and 1 col-
umn, and maximum dimensions of 32767 rows and 32767 columns.

Implementation Notes
- The ‘i’ loop and ‘k’ loops are unrolled 2x. The ’j’ loop is unrolled 4x. For di-
mensions that are not multiples of the various loops’ unroll factors, this
code calculates extra results beyond the edges of the matrix. These extra
results are ultimately discarded. This allows the loops to be unrolled for
efficient operation on large matrices while not losing flexibility.

- Bank Conflicts: No bank conflicts occur.

- Endian: The code is LITTLE ENDIAN.

- Interruptibility: This code blocks interrupts during its innermost loop. In-
terrupts are not blocked otherwise. As a result, interrupts can be blocked
for up to 0.25*c1’ + 16 cycles at a time.

Benchmarks Cycles 0.25 * ( r1’ * c2’ * c1’ ) + 2.25 * ( r1’ * c2’ ) + 11, where:

DSP_mat_trans Matrix Transpose

Function void DSP_mat_trans (const short *x, short rows, short columns, short *r)
Arguments x[rows*columns] Pointer to input matrix.

rows Number of rows in the input matrix. Must be a multiple


of 4.

columns Number of columns in the input matrix. Must be a multiple


of 4.

r[columns*rows] Pointer to output data vector of size rows*columns.


Description This function transposes the input matrix x[ ] and writes the result to matrix r[ ].
Algorithm This is the C equivalent of the assembly code without restrictions. Note that
the assembly code is hand optimized and restrictions may apply.
void DSP_mat_trans(short *x, short rows, short columns, short
*r)
{
short i,j;
for(i=0; i<columns; i++)
for(j=0; j<rows; j++)
*(r+i*rows+j)=*(x+i+columns*j);
}
Special Requirements
- Rows and columns must be a multiple of 4.

- Matrices are assumed to have 16-bit elements.

Implementation Notes
- Data from four adjacent rows, spaced “columns” apart are read, and a lo-
cal 4x4 transpose is performed in the register file. This leads to four double
words, that are “rows” apart. These loads and stores can cause bank con-
flicts, hence non-aligned loads and stores are used.
- Bank Conflicts: No bank conflicts occur.

- Endian: The code is LITTLE ENDIAN.

- Interruptibility: The code is interrupt-tolerant but not interruptible.

Arguments x [nx] Source data. Must be double-word aligned.

r [nx] Destination array. Must be double-word aligned.

nx Number of 16-bit values to swap. Must be multiple of 8.


Description The data in the x[] array is endian swapped, meaning that the byte-order of the
bytes within each half-word of the r[] array is reversed. This is meant to facili-
tate moving big-endian data to a little-endian system or vice-versa.
When the r pointer is non-NULL, the endian-swap occurs out-of-place, similar
to a block move. When the r pointer is NULL, the endian-swap occurs in-place,
allowing the swap to occur without using any additional storage.

Performance Considerations

A.1 Performance Considerations


The ceil( ) is used in some benchmark formulas to accurately describe the
number of cycles. It returns a number rounded up, away from zero, to the near-
est integer. For example, ceil(1.1) returns 2.

Although DSPLIB can be used as a first estimation of processor performance


for a specific function, you should be aware that the generic nature of DSPLIB
might add extra cycles not required for customer specific usage.

Benchmark cycles presented assume best case conditions, typically assum-


ing all code and data are placed in L1 memeory. Any extra cycles due to place-
ment of code or data in L2/external memory or cache-associated effects
(cache-hits or misses) are not considered when computing the cycle counts.

You should also be aware that execution speed in a system is dependent on


where the different sections of program and data are located in memory. You
should account for such differences when trying to explain why a routine is tak-
ing more time than the reported DSPLIB benchmarks.

For more information on additional stall cycles due to memory hierarchy, see
the Signal Processing Examples Using TMS320C64x Digital Signal Process-
ing Library (SPRA884). The TMS320C6000 DSP Cache User’s Guide
(SPRU656A) presents how to optimize algorithms and function calls for better
cache performance.

Fractional Q Formats

A.2 Fractional Q Formats

Unless specifically noted, DSPLIB functions use Q15 format, or to be more ex-
act, Q0.15. In a Qm.n format, there are m bits used to represent the two’s com-
plement integer portion of the number, and n bits used to represent the two’s
complement fractional portion. m+n+1 bits are needed to store a general Qm.n
number. The extra bit is needed to store the sign of the number in the most-sig-
nificant bit position. The representable integer range is specified by (−2 m,2 m)
and the finest fractional resolution is 2 −n.

For example, the most commonly used format is Q.15. Q.15 means that a
16-bit word is used to express a signed number between positive and negative
one. The most-significant binary digit is interpreted as the sign bit in any Q for-
mat number. Thus, in Q.15 format, the decimal point is placed immediately to
the right of the sign bit. The fractional portion to the right of the sign bit is stored
in regular two’s complement format.

A.2.1 Q3.12 Format

Q.3.12 format places the sign bit after the fourth binary digit from the right, and
the next 12 bits contain the two’s complement fractional component. The
approximate allowable range of numbers in Q.3.12 representation is (−8,8)
and the finest fractional resolution is 2−12 = 2.441 × 10−4.

Value S I3 I2 I1 Q11 Q10 Q9 … Q0

A.2.2 Q.15 Format

Q.15 format places the sign bit at the leftmost binary digit, and the next 15 left-
most bits contain the two’s complement fractional component. The approxi-
mate allowable range of numbers in Q.15 representation is (−1,1) and the fin-
est fractional resolution is 2−15 = 3.05 × 10−5.

A.2.3 Q.31 Format

Q.31 format spans two 16-bit memory words. The 16-bit word stored in the low-
er memory location contains the 16 least significant bits, and the higher
memory location contains the most significant 15 bits and the sign bit. The
approximate allowable range of numbers in Q.31 representation is (−1,1) and
the finest fractional resolution is 2−31 = 4.66 × 10−10.
