–

Implement smart data movement schemes. Especially useful for

Audio algorithms (e.g. Reverb, Room Correction)

2. Reduce System Power Consumption

–

Allows switching off the ARM clocks

–

Implement smart power controller by evaluating events before

waking up ARM. Maximized power-down time.

3. Accelerate System Performance

–

Full programmability allows custom interface implementation
