Hi,
I am working on evaluating a embedded processor architecture which offers below features:
a] 8 SIMD co-processing DSP kind of cores, b] Each core can do a 8 way SIMD c] Each core is a 8 execution slot VLIW as well.
I want to use high video encoder(H.264, 1080p, 60fps) or 3D Video encoder to run on this processor/hardware. I am trying to perform architectural exploration and find
1] What are the good featrues of a processor should have which help in carrying out multimedia(Video/Image) Signal processing applications in power/cycle/memory efficient way.
2] What peripherals,memory structure, either cache memory or internal memory;additional assembly instructions help in efficient execution of code for multimedia applications
3] What are most power efficient and fast processor architectures for Multimedia(Video/Image) processing applications
PS: It has to be low power as it is for portable applications.
Any pointers(papers/blogs) would be helpful.
thank you.
