DSP or FPGA? How to choose the right device
DSPs and FPGAs both offer advantages for signal processing. Here are the design guidelines you need to choose between DSPs, FPGAs, or a combination of the two. Topics covered include device cost, performance, NRE, and availability of application-specific features.

• H.264 encoder design using Application Engine Synthesis

• Asynchronous DSPs: Low power, high performance

• Tips and Trends: Mobile and Internet convergence--Impact on operator networks

• Analysis: 3DLabs takes massive parallelism to portables

• C-based coprocessor design, part 2: Datapath customization
