A Virtual Dsp Architecture for Mpeg-4 Structured Audio
نویسندگان
چکیده
The MPEG-4 Audio standard provides a toolset for synthetic Audio generation and Audio processing called Structured Audio (SA). SA permits to describe algorithms through its Structured Audio Orchestra Language (SAOL) programming language. Unlike some other languages of the same type, SAOL has a sample-by-sample execution structure, and this makes particularly important the overhead computation in the case of an interpreted decoding. This paper describes the design of a virtual DSP architecture able to exploit the data level parallelism contained in many audio synthesis and processing algorithms and to consistently reduce the implementation overhead.

An audio virtual DSP for multimedia frameworks
The new MPEG-4 Audio standard provides two toolsets for synthetic Audio generation, Audio processing and multimedia content description called Structured Audio (SA) and BInary Format for Scenes (BIFS). Moving from a systematic analysis of SA and from the implementation of an efficient SA decoder, this paper describes the design of a virtual DSP architecture able to exploit the data level parall...

The MPEG-4 standard provides a complete framework for hybrid coding of natural and structured sound information that permits the description of complete spatial environments by a low amount of data. A new platform, based on a virtual DSP, has been developed to optimize the MPEG decoding and pre-processing interface to feed an array of loudspeakers rendering spatial Audio by Wave Field Synthesis...

متن کاملFig. 1: Mpeg-4 Coding Scheme
A programmable processor architecture for MPEG-4 video is proposed, that can serve as a coprocessor module in MPEG-4 decoder systems. It consists of a 64-bit dual-issue VLIW macroblock engine, a separate RISC core for bitstream parsing and system processing, and an autonomous I/O processor. A separate DSP is used for MPEG audio support. The architecture is fully programmable and supports parall...
متن کاملA DSP Based Multi-Format Video Decoder for an IP Set-Top Box
In this paper, the implementation of a digital signal processor (DSP) based multi-format decoder for an IP set-top box is described. Using several software optimization techniques, the multi-format decoder has been fitted into a TMS320DM641 DSP @ 480 Mhz. Starting from a native C code implementation, a six-step software optimization process has been applied to improve the decoder performance. C...
