Technical Questions - Software ASM !?

I would lika a main subject to be "Programming ASM on XMOS" as well under the Technical Questions - Software .

Since a 4-core XMOS chip has an amount of ALU-close registers that would be something about 4*4*12 ?? it might often be interesting to write small code snippes that uses the registers in a optimal way to reduce the time needed for memory-copy. For an example you can write IIR-filters that almost only uses the MACxx instruction an a very few memory copies per cycle.

In the old forum some questions arises every now and then about different inline ASM or similair, but it dosent have it's own place to be in the forum.


Probably not the most confused programmer anymore on the XCORE forum.

Sounds like a good idea to me given how many people are using some assembler snippets.
