Abstract

This disclosure relates to a distributed processing system for configuring multiple processing channels. The distributed processing system includes a main processor, such as an ARM processor, communicatively coupled to a plurality of co-processors, such as stream processors. The co-processors can execute instructions in parallel with each other and interrupt the ARM processor. Longer latency instructions can be executed by the main processor and lower latency instructions can be executed by the co-processors. There are several ways that a stream can be triggered in the distributed processing system. In an embodiment, the distributed processing system is a stream processor system that includes an ARM processor and stream processors configured to access different register sets. The stream processors can include a main stream processor and stream processors in respective transmit and receive channels. The stream processor system can be implemented in a radio system to configure the radio for operation.
