Hi I too have started doing most of the stuffs in asm rather than going for C functions. The first thing that I am concentrating is the SYNTH function.

Bt still since i am following the LONG calculation(Q28.4) instead of Q15.1, mine is still vulnerable for timing issues. It will be gr8 help if you could send me across your version (16 bit arithmetic and Q15.1 for 55X) of MAD decoder for my reference.

Thanks in advance Balaji Shanmugam

Hi Balaji!

I have ported MAD to TI-55xx. I used Q1.15 format and 16 bits arithmetics for all calculation. As result of this is:

limited accuracy ISO/IEC 11172-3 audio decoder

according to http://www.underbit.com/resources/mpeg/audio/compliance/

Yes - synthesis step of decoding is most calculation intensive part. I've used a little different method to port MAD to TI-55xx DSP - instead of providing "arithmetics macro" for given platform I've rewrite on DSP asm all calculation intensive functions (8 or 9 ?). So I think this is a better way in case if someone need close to optimal implementation for given hardware platform. Only you need to do is to rewrite these asm functions for your platform.

I can send you my implementation of decoder. And maybe it is better to put it to MAD site? Because I've sent it several times before to other people and this question is arisen again and again :). In additional I have same style implementation of MAD for sp3R5m DSP (www.3dsp.com) this one is 32 DSP core and in this case "fully compliant" decoder is obtained.
