What is the difference between DSP Processor and FPGA, Which supports floating point algorithm ?
If both support than For Floating poing algorithm, which one is best,

| u can impliment dsp algorithems on both of the things u mention above,FPGA is slight ahead because u r not confind on it in any issue like memory,simply u can understand that u r programing a chip when u r using dsp & for fpga u r designing a chip of ur concern

Hi,
I think both support floating point. But, if you using FPGA, it requires a lot of area and computational complexity for arithmetic operations. Usually, fixed point arithmetic is preferred instead. For DSP, it is not the problems as it is design to perform complex arithmetic operations.
Regards

| With a lot of development for fixed point algos Floating point DSP's are almost obsolete. TI has stopped their support for 67xx. Whereas Xilinx has started support for Floating Point in Vertex II or III or later version(I am not confirmed). So it will cost u more to implement a algo as floating pnt in FPGA as compared to DSP. You can get a lot o developed routines for DSP's.
