Performance of the Complex Streamed Instruction Set on Image Processing Kernels

چکیده
The Complex Streamed Instruction (CSI) set is an architectural paradigm designed to accelerate multimedia applications. These applications are characterized by streaming operations on small-width data elements such as 8-bit pixels or 16-bit audio samples. CSI instructions operate on two-dimensional data streams in a SIMD fashion and are able to process streams of arbitrary length. In this paper we evaluate the performance of the CSI architecture on a set of important image processing kernels. These kernels are characterized by little data reuse which results in poor cache performance. Simulation results show that CSI provides a speedup by a factor of up to 3.98 (2.60 on average) compared to Sun’s media ISA extension VIS. We also analyze the scalability of VIS and CSI with respect to memory bandwidth. The results show that CSI scales much better than VIS with increasing bandwidth.

Performance Benefits of Special-Purpose Instructions in the CSI Architecture
The Complex Streamed Instruction Set (CSI) architecture was proposed in order to overcome the limitations of existing multimedia-oriented ISA extensions, such as Intel’s MMX and SSE. One of the main limitations is the large amount of instructions which has to be executed. In CSI, instructions operate on data streams of arbitrarylength, which allows to dramatically reduce the instruction counts ...

متن کاملImproving Super-resolution Techniques via Employing Blurriness Information of the Image
Super-resolution (SR) is a technique that produces a high resolution (HR) image via employing a number of low resolution (LR) images from the same scene. One of the degradations that attenuates performance of the SR is the blurriness of the input LR images. In many previous works in the SR, the blurriness of the LR images is assumed to be due to the integral effect of the image sensor of the im...
