Abstract

Conventional standard processors do not correspond well to the characteristics of multimedia signal processor algorithms. Therefore, special architectural approaches are necessary for multimedia processors to deliver the required high processing power with efficient use of hardware resources. Programmable approaches offer a high degree of flexibility. In order to attain multimedia signal processor performance, architectural strategies for programmable processors are based on parallelization and adaptation principles. The future multimedia signal processor implementation hinges upon an optimal trade-off between the two design spaces, which can be effectively addressed by a codesign approach
