ABSTRACT:
An improved PC system that includes a main CPU microprocessor, a file-based operating system, and a DSP microprocessor arranged so that the DSP can execute main CPU operations during time intervals in which the main CPU is otherwise occupied, thereby increasing the bandwidth of the system is provided. This PC system may include multiple CPUs and/or multiple DSPs.
