Unless specifically noted, DSPLIB operates on Q.15-fractional data type
elements. 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
efficiency. 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 those 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
locations with Real data followed by Imaginary data.
- In-place computation is not allowed, unless specifically noted: Source
operand cannot be equal to destination operand.
