18.2 Applications
The VFP11 coprocessor provides floating-point computation suitable for a wide spectrum of
applications such as:
• personal digital assistants and smartphones for graphics, voice compression and
decompression, user interfaces, Java interpretation, and Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation
• games machines for three-dimensional graphics and digital audio
• printers and MultiFunction Peripheral (MFP) controllers for high-definition color
rendering
• set-top boxes for digital audio and digital video, and three-dimensional user interfaces
• automotive applications for engine management and power train computations.
