A Data-Driven IDCT Architecture for Low Power Video Applications Thucydides Xanthopoulos Anantha P. Chandrakasan Charles G. Sodini William J. Dally Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 Abstract. Analysis of transform coded (MPEG) video data streams reveals a large percentage of zero-valued Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coe cients. A Data-Driven 2D IDCT architecture (DDIDCT) is proposed which exploits this observation for energy e ciency. The DDIDCT architecture exploits variability in the computational workload caused by the presence of zero-valued DCT coefcients by adaptively changing the power supply and the clock frequency of the main computation units. Adaptive minimization of switching events and power supply voltage make the DDIDCT approach more energy e cient than a conventional fast row-column Distributed Arithmetic IDCT implementation by more than an order of magnitude for the same sample rate.

متن کاملUltra-Low-Energy DSP Processor Design for Many-Core Parallel Applications
Background and Objectives: Digital signal processors are widely used in energy constrained applications in which battery lifetime is a critical concern. Accordingly, designing ultra-low-energy processors is a major concern. In this work and in the first step, we propose a sub-threshold DSP processor. Methods: As our baseline architecture, we use a modified version of an existing ultra-low-power...

Nowadays, digital signal processors (DSPs) are appropriate choices for real-time image and video processing in embedded multimedia applications not only due to their superior signal processing performance, but also of the high levels of integration and very low-power consumption. Filtering which consists of multiple addition and multiplication operations, is one of the most fundamental operatio...
