Commercial information, time-dependent information, and all the damn JAVA scripts have been removed. All "htm" extensions have been changed to the proper "html" extensions. Has also been edited for

Typical DSP operations require several data operands to be operated upon iteratively. Although DSP processors can access multiple memory accesses simultaneously, memory accesses can still be a bottleneck: so DSP processors have many internal registers which are designed for storing intermediate values without requiring an access to memory.
