Often abbreviated “DSP“, “digital signal processing” refers to a specific type of digital processing that is optimized for dealing with signals. DSP can be thought of as sort of a subset to the old math coprocessor concept. Math coprocessors were chips that were included in computers to help the CPU do massive calculations more efficiently. DSP chips are designed and optimized to be able to do various (mathematical) calculations for processing audio or image data.
