here is an example of implementationon C30, C55 is much more efficient...

> Hi;
> As you know MELPe receive 16-bit inputs and the processing includes
> some 8-bit operations. My question is that: "Would you know if a 16-bit
> addressable DSP,like c55x, is used to implement MELPe how much (in
> percent) of memory may be unused?"
>
> "In the above case is there any way to use dissipated memory without
> MIPs increasing?"
