Abstract : This report addresses the problem of improving the execution performance of saturated reduction loops on fixed-point instruction-level parallel Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). We first introduce ``bit-exact'' transformations, that are suitable for use in the ETSI and the ITU speech coding applications. We then present ``approximate'' transformations, the relative precision of which we are able to compare. Our main results rely on the properties of the saturated arithmetic.
