Chapter 4: DSP Software

DSP applications are usually programmed in the same languages as other science and
engineering tasks, such as: C, BASIC and assembly. The power and versatility of C makes it
the language of choice for computer scientists and other professional programmers. On the
other hand, the simplicity of BASIC makes it ideal for scientists and engineers who only
occasionally visit the programming world. Regardless of the language you use, most of the
important DSP software issues are buried far below in the realm of whirling ones and zeros.
This includes such topics as: how numbers are represented by bit patterns, round-off error in
computer arithmetic, the computational speed of different types of processors, etc. This chapter
is about the things you can do at the high level to avoid being trampled by the low level internal
workings of your computer.
