What is the difference between DSP processor and general-purpose processor?
DSP is preferred for faster for integer mathematic operations and floating point operations. GPP do not have hardware and operations have to be done in software. It is designed to perform intensive digital signal processing tasks. It is used in control-oriented applications.
What is the difference between general-purpose microprocessor and special purpose microprocessor?
General purpose processor: usable for several applications, low price, short design time but low performance, high energy consumption and large dimensions. Single purpose processor: good performance, small, less energy consumption but more difficult design, more expensive, less flexible.
How is a DSP processors instruction set typically different from that of a general-purpose computer in spite of the fact that both have caches?
By the standards of general-purpose processors, DSP instruction sets are often highly irregular; while traditional instruction sets are made up of more general instructions that allow them to perform a wider variety of operations, instruction sets optimized for digital signal processing contain instructions for common ...

General-Purpose Processors
GPPs are the processors that power desktop computers and are at the center of the computer revolution that began in the 1970s. The landscape of microprocessor design is dotted with a large number of devices from a variety of manufacturers.
