  • Parallel processing of digital signals in a single arithmetic/logic unit
    Patent number: 5689592
    Abstract: A method of processing a digital signal wherein multiple signal values are simultaneously operated upon in a single register. The register is not segmented in hardware, but is segmented by operation of a controlling computer software program. The controlling computer software arranges the digital signal in a computer memory in such a manner as to permit the register to be loaded with a plurality of digital samples, each having a precision less than the total precision available in the register. The method may include steps to partially compensate for errors introduced by carries from one segment of the register to another segment of the register, when necessary.
