    You should study TI architecture (mainly VLIW chip) or other using SIMD
    instruction set.

    DSP does not need to cleanly change there state so it's much easier than
    general purpose CPU. It could be interresting to save/restore DSP internal
    state from high avalaibility point of view.

    But bascaly, DSP are multiply units with scheduler and support to program
    it in C (simpler than ASM).
