integrated Development Environment ^include <fract.h> [Info] This loop executes 2 iterations of the original loop in estimated 1 cydes. [Info] Loop was vectorized by a factor of 2 [Advice] Consider using pragma extrajoopjoads for this loop._ Backing the compiler is a powerful assembler and linker technology. Analog Devices processors are noted for their intuitive algebraic assem- bly language syntax, and the VisualDSP++ assembler extends that ease of use with the ability to import C header files, allowing for symbolic references into arbitrarily complex C data structures. Binary data can be...
