"We were very impressed that for our general purpose DSP architecture, Chess was able to exploit the full 8 levels of instruction level parallelism (ILP) for many loop inner kernels. Our first application running on the Coolflow DSP prototype board is MP3 audio decoding. We are running a full featured MP3 decoder in under 15 MIPS on Coolflow, with a power consumption of less than 1 mW for typical MP3 source material."
