    Abstract

    The addition of custom vector instructions to the G.729A speech coding algorithm is shown to reduce significantly its computational complexity. The identified vector extensions are implemented in the form of a configurable vector accelerator, tightly coupled to a 32 bit Sparc V8-compliant reduced instruction set (RISC) processor. Architectural simulation demonstrates that a reduction in complexity of up 60%, for a vector length of sixteen 16 bit elements, is achievable in current VLSI technology.
