Digital Signal Processing (DSP), has emerged as an important technology for modern
electronic systems. A wide range of modern applications employ DSP algorithms to
solve problems in their particular domains, including sensor fusion, servo motor
control, audio decode/encode, speech synthesis and coding, MPEG4 decode, medical
imaging, computer vision, embedded control, robotics, human interface, etc.

The proposed P instruction set extension increases the DSP algorithm processing
capabilities of the RISC-V CPU IP products. With the addition of the RISC-V P instruction
set extension, the RISC-V CPUs can now run these various DSP applications with lower
power and higher performance.
