Editing Digital signal processor (section)

====Data instructions====
*[[Saturation arithmetic]], in which operations that produce overflows will accumulate at the maximum (or minimum) values that the register can hold rather than wrapping around (maximum+1 doesn't overflow to minimum as in many general-purpose CPUs, instead it stays at maximum). Sometimes various sticky bits operation modes are available.
*[[Fixed-point arithmetic]] is often used to speed up arithmetic processing.
*Single-cycle operations to increase the benefits of [[Pipeline (computing)|pipelining]].
