hardware circular buffer

programming, hardware digital signal processors which

support hardware circular buffers automatically generate and

increment pointers for memory accesses which wrap to the

beginning of the buffer when its end is reached, thus saving

the time and instructions otherwise needed to ensure that the

address pointer stays within the boundary of the buffer, and

speeding the execution of repetitive DSP algorithms.
