The DSP series of coprocessors DSP-1, DSP-2, DSP-3, DSP-4 were used in many games for computational support, usually to assist games with 3D features.

The SNES CPU would write computation commands to the DSP's memory mapper registers, then read back the computed result.

DSP is an acronym for "Digital Signal Processor", but the name seems poorly chosen. It does not operate on a continuous signal like most DSPs.

Not to be confused with the S-DSP sound device built into the SNES.
