Sub-Block Oriented Media Processor Architecture

Sub-block oriented media processor architecture is presented. A block oriented instruction set extension is proposed to process and transfer 1D or 2D data blocks. Two programmable processors are employed to perform sequential processing and block oriented processing respectively. We evaluated the performance potential of the media processor architecture using a special FPGA card, and an image F...

The Molen Media Processor: Design and Evaluation

We present a fully operational prototype of the Molen reconfigurable processor based on the tightly coupled co-processor architectural paradigm. Within the Molen concept, a general purpose core processor controls the execution and reconfiguration of a reconfigurable co-processor, tuning the latter to various application specific algorithms. An ISA extension of only 4 instructions supports an ar...

A Media Processor for Multimediasignal Processing

{ A multimedia system requires processing capabilities that include controlling functions as well as high throughput. For the consumer market, this processor must also satisfy low cost constraints. An eecient solution is the use of a dual{issue RISC architecture with key enhancements to target the high computation needs of multimedia applications. The RISC design methodology ensures its ease of...

Image Processing Using One-Dimensional Processor Arrays

Image processing (IP) is an ideal candidate for specialized architectures because of the sheer volume of data, the natural parallelism of IP algorithms, and the high demandfor IP solutions. The continually increasing circuit density of very large scale integration (VLSI) now makes it possible to integrate a complete parallel computer onto a single piece of silicon, significantly improving cost-...
