A computer system embedding buffers therein for performing a digital
signal processing (DSP) data access operation includes a DSP core,a data
cache, first and second buffer modules, an external memory and a central
processing unit (CPU) core. The CPU core executes instructions and the
DSP core processes data in accordance with the instructions. The data
cache stores temporary data associated with the DSP core. The first
buffer module stores input data received by the DSP core while the second
buffer module stores output data provided from the DSP core. The external
memory stores the temporary data, the input data, and the output data,
wherein the input and output data are received by and provided from the
DSP core in series through the first and second buffer modules without
going through the data cache.
