Abstract
The invention provides a heterogeneous multi-core digital signal processor for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication system, and relates to the field of microprocessor system structures. The processor consists of a set of processor cores which are distributed in a row, wherein the processor cores can be divided into different types according to computing capability; the different types of processor cores are mutually connected in an open loop interconnection mode; the processor cores are very long instruction word (VLIW) processors; data transmission among the processor cores is realized by a shared memory; and control signals are transmitted through bus control units in the processor cores and task scheduling buses outside the processor cores. Each processor core can receive task scheduling information from other processor cores, so that the design of a dedicated task scheduling unit or a master control processor is eliminated, and the expandability and simplicity of the multi-core processor are ensured; and the structure of the multi-core processor can effectively accord with the characteristic of wireless communication baseband processing and achieves high performance per watt.
