ADSP-2126x SHARC Processor Hardware Reference
Each processing element has a general-purpose data register file that trans-
fers data between the computation units and the data buses and stores
intermediate results. A register file has two sets (primary and secondary) of
16 general-purpose registers each for fast context switching. All of the reg-
isters are 40 bits wide. The register file, combined with the core
processor’s Super Harvard Architecture, allows unconstrained data flow
between computation units and internal memory.
Primary Processing Element (PEx).
PEx processes all computational
instructions whether the DSP is in Single-Instruction, Single-Data (SISD)
or Single-Instruction, Multiple-Data (SIMD) mode. This element corre-
sponds to the computational units and register file in previous
ADSP-21000 family DSPs.
Secondary Processing Element (PEy).
PEy processes each computational
instruction in lock-step with PEx, but only processes these instructions
when the DSP is in SIMD mode. Because many operations are influenced
by this mode, more information on SIMD is available in multiple
locations:
• For information on PEy operations, see
• For information on data addressing in SIMD mode, see
ing in SISD and SIMD Modes” on page 4-18
• For information on data accesses in SIMD mode, see
SIMD, and Broadcast Load Modes” on page 5-28

Program Sequence Control
Internal controls for ADSP-2126x program execution come from four
functional blocks: program sequencer, data address generators, core timer,
and instruction cache. Two dedicated address generators and a program
