Abstract :
In this paper, the problem of defining a high performance control structure for a parallel motion estimation architecture for MPEG2 coding is addressed. Various design and architecture choices are discussed and the final architecture is described. It represents a combined MIMD-SIMD approach which is based on a small but efficient ASIP with subword parallelism
