This paper presents a method of enhancing the execution time of a processor in implementing signal processing and control algorithms, through a process of minimisation of memory access time of the processor. The method is based on the design and corresponding software coding of an algorithm, and thus can be adopted for a variety of real-timesignal processing and control applications. The finite difference simulation algorithm ofa flexible beam is considered to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The algorithm is implemented on a general-purpose computing platform, and a comparative performance evaluation of the processor with the proposed method is presented and discussed.
