Abstract :
Summary form only given. Multimedia systems are typically computation intensive. Ever more complex algorithms and the continuous increasing resolution suggest that this trend will continue for the foreseeable future. Silicon IC technology scaling delivers the required transistor densities to meet the computational needs of multimedia systems, however, at an ever increasing cost. Changes in the technology landscape influence multimedia systems architectures, resulting in design challenges and opportunities. In this presentation we provide a glimpse of this technology-design interaction in the context of multimedia systems, touching upon multi-core architectures, 3D chip-stacking, and embedded MEMS technology.
