An architecture of accelerating real-time multimedia for networking applications

With the increasing of multimedia application, the network traffic have become heavy and increased the CPU loading. The main limitations for real-time multimedia networking are memory copies and interrupts. In this paper, a proposed system which have a dual CPU architecture will accelerate real-time multimedia transfer on the networking. An FPGA prototyping - Versatile is designed and implemented that has an ARM (hard core) and an Uni-RISC. Compared with the traditional single CPU system, the proposed dual CPU architecture shows 37.89% performing improvement on an FPGA prototyping.
