What you'll learn:
Both newcomers to the SHARC® Processor, as well as experienced users will benefit from the course. The main course objective is to gain a thorough understanding of the ADSP-21161 SHARC Processor features and its VisualDSP++ code development environment (assembly and 'C' languages). Additional goals include gaining a sufficient understanding of the ADSP-21161 architecture to enable designers to resolve implementation issues with their applications and to optimize their designs.

Audience:
Designers that need to come up to speed quickly on the ADSP-21161 processor. System Designers needing to make informed decisions on design tradeoffs, Hardware Designers needing to develop external interfaces, and Code Developers needing to know how to get the highest performance from their algorithms.
