Abstract
Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) is one of the most time consuming tasks in video coding. This paper proposes an architecture to compute the SADs for all the different block sizes required by the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. Moreover, the Partial Distortion Elimination (PDE), clock gating and a low leakage technology enable high power/energy reductions/savings over the state of the art.
