However, that does not mean that it is the architecture with the most applications. X86 architecture has the most, likely followed by the Sparc architecture. For that matter most general purpose processor architectures have more applications than the ARM, because ARM is used with a lot of proprietary platforms, I understand from one of my colleagues that at least one the hearing aid companies use ARM as their DSP platform.

I came here a bit before the P4. [snip] Because I once learned something here, I stupidly keep coming back. [snip] The people who are bent on showing me something or other about my personality or some other personal thing about me are just wasting my time, theirs, and everyone else's. If you don't get the way in which I am bright, and I am, then stop showing how clueless you are by trying to tell me how witless I am. Robert, besides extolling the size of your brain & ego, what are you trying to tell us here? Are you preparing to bid us farewell? Then just do it, instead of rambling about it. If not, then speak plainer, please. Kai -- Kai Harrekilde-Petersen khp(at)harrekilde(dot)dk |

Otherwise, leave your hands off the keyboard. Robert. Robert. |

Robert. ------------------------- I stop in once in a while. This thread mystifies me. It is in a group "...ibm.pc.hardware.chips" so of course it is about x86 and amd and intel. What's the point of this thread? There is much to be learned in the newsgroups if one is willing. del |

What it's not about is personalities and endless discussions of theories of competition. Nor is it about anyone here teaching me or anyone else how to be a better person. Nor is it about the good and evil of corporations. Whatever technical content there once was to this group, it is long gone. Robert. |

But there is running more and more code on a hearing aid, besides the sound processing - feedback suppression, coefficient updating, automatic program selection, and (if you have it) wireless communication protocol.
