From the Editors: DSP 4 You

ABSTRACT

Whether you think it means digital signal processing, or digital signal processor, DSP is a topic that affects your life, if not your work as a software engineer. Since 1979 saw the design of the first wave of user-programmable DSP chips-the Intel 2920, the NEC µPD7720, and the Bell Labs (AT&T) DSP-1-2004 is a 25th anniversary that's appropriately celebrated with the collection of articles presented in this month's ACM Queue.
