Outline • Introduction • Comparison of MPEG-4 SP & ASP • HiBRID-Soc Multi-core Architecture • HiPAR-DSP • Macroblock processor • Stream processor • Conclusion
Introduction • Dedicated Architecture • Single-purpose • Lower flexibility higher performance • Hybrid Architecture • Programmable CPU + dedicated hardware accelerator • Higher flexibility lower performance • FPGA or DSP • Fully programmable • Slow and only for evaluation
HiPAR-DSP • 16 parallel data paths steered by a single RISC controller in SIMD style • Each data path consists of three VLIW controlled arithmetical units: 16 bit MAC, 32bit ALU, and shift & round units. • External connection can be provided via a modular DMA controller. • A GNU based c/c++ complier is available.
Macroblock processor • Shift with round to 0 / ∞ unsigned, signed • Transform, filter (QMC, deblocking) • Average value with rounding control • Sub-pel motion compensation • Addition of absolute value • Controlled Addition/Subtraction • Dequantization • Permute instruction • Motion compensation, deblocking • Branch on vector status registers • Deblocking mode selection
Stream processor • Application • Audio/Video stream generation and separation • Characteristics in MPEG encoding • Multiplexing of different parts of bitstream • Run-Length coding of DCT coefficients • Variable length coding of coded DCT coefficients (using Huffman table)
Software development environment • Optimizing assemblers are available • Data parallelism via SIMD or subword parallelism • Instruction parallelism via VLIW • Special instruction optimized for video and image processing algorithm
Comparison Between PSoC and HiBRID • PSoC ( Programmable SoC ) • Array of Analog Blocks • Array of Digital Blocks • General Purpose Architecture • HiBRID • More suitable for Multimedia Application • Three cores for different class of functionality
Conclusion • Use the appropriate DSP architecture for different applications. • Multiple codecs can be efficiently implemented on a single platform • Hybrid SoC architecture is the optimal solution for various kinds of video and image applications.
