I don't know how many here might be familiar with the Arduino and the concept of open-source hardware. So I've been getting it in my head to try my hand at designing an open-source DSP card for computers, along the lines of the UAD-1 or TC PowerCore, and creating some dev tools so people can code for it easily. The front-end code (GUI) and interface to the DSP could then run on the CPU.
I scanned around TI's web site, and found a suite of 32-bit floating point DSPs that are apparently not too expensive. Ranging from 167-300Mhz, each with 8 multiplier-adders and 8 accumulators, which seem to be good specs to me.
Now I just need to figure out how to put those on a PCI card. :grin:
I'm probably off the deep end with this one, but what the hell.
