Fast 2D IDCT implementation with multimedia instructions for a software MPEG2 decoder

چکیده
This paper presents an implementation of a fast twodimensional inverse Discrete Cosine Transform (IDCT) with multimedia instructions for a software MPEG2 decoder. IDCT algorithms for sparse blocks which eliminate the calculation for zero coefficients are realized by using multimedia instructions. To reduce the cycle count for IDCT, an adaptive control method for these IDCT algorithms, based on the bit rate and picture type, is proposed and its performance is described. In the implementation of a software MPEG2 decoder, the execution time for IDCT is reduced to 10% by using MMX instructions from original C program. Moreover, using proposed adaptive control, it can further be reduced to 76%.

A key enabling technology for the proliferation of multimedia PC’s is the availability of fast video codecs, which are the basic building blocks of many new multimedia applications. Since most industrial video coding standards (e.g., MPEG1, MPEG2, H.261, H.263) only specify the decoder syntax, there are a lot of rooms for optimization in a practical implementation. When considering a specific h...

By examining the speed-up resulting from using SIMD instructions for DSP kernels (FFT) and two different multimedia programs (MPEG2 and a Matching Pursuit video codec), we discuss the hardware and software issues that limit performance. Some features in present implementation of Intel SIMD instructions limit the efficiency of dot products. C programmer’s habits also complicate the compiler task...
متن کاملBenchmark the Software Based Mpeg-4 Video Codec'
Software-based implementations of H.263 and MPEG2 video standards are well documented, recently reporting faster than or close to real-time performance. Since the complexity of MPEG-4 is higher than its predecessor standards, real time video encoding and decoding can exhaust computational resource without achieving real-time speed. In this paper, we report a software-based real-time MPEG-4 vide...
