DSP code optimization based on cache

DSP program‟s running efficiency on board is often lower than which via the software simulation during the program development, which is mainly resulted from the user‟s improper use and incomplete understanding of the cache-based memory. This paper took the TI TMS320C6455 DSP as an example, analyzed its two-level internal cache, and summarized the methods of code optimization. Processor can achieve its best performance when using these code optimization methods. At last, a specific algorithm application in radar signal processing is proposed. Experiment result shows that these optimization are efficient.
