DESCRIPTION:Fixed point arithmetic provides an efficient way of operating
  on real data types without the software or hardware overheads that come
  with more general floating point arithmetic.  At first glance\, a fixed
  point arithmetic maps directly to integer arithmetic operations but cor
 ner cases such as saturation\, rounding and multiplication can lead to i
 nefficient code sequences.  Algorithms that require fixed point arithmet
 ic tend to also have a significant quantity of data to operate on and ef
 ficient access to memory is therefore key.  In this seminar we provide a
 n introduction to the Meta architecture\, a description of the DSP featu
 res that can be used to optimise fixed point arithmetic and a discussion
  of how compiler tehnology can target such hardware features.\n\nhttp://
