Abstract :
We have developed a parallel process execution scheme, which enables reusable software to achieve high performance scalability for mobile multimedia application in according to available resources. Also, performance scalability on an eight-cores media processor with low power circuits is certified by evaluating H.264 decoding. The high reusability of media processing engines and software developed on the basis of our scheme enable software solution to cover various image, media applications.
