- I'm working with a program at may PC at the Rogaland University Center in
- Stavanger, subbandcoding. The question is: Can the coprosessor work alone, a
- sort of parallell processing, or will the main processor stop and wait until
- the co-processor is finished ?
-
- I have to know this because I'm going to optimalize the program so it will
- go much faster then the JPEG standard !!!
-
- If i program in assembly direct in the C-program source, will it go much
- faster ? If I program the coprocessor direct (f_xxx ), will that go much
- faster than else ???
-
- Please Answer Me
