Design of the Tile-Based Embedded Multimedia Processor –TEMP–

Abstract

An advanced multimedia processing unit is needed for the DVD player, the music player, and the video game machine, etc., we propose a sub-processor for advanced multimedia processing for built-in usage. We achieve the necessary arithmetic capacity equal with the processing, only for the multimedia by proposing multimedia processing is done by extended instruction. The tile processor is adopted as architecture of the processor. The tile processor can reduce the wiring delay that happens because of tile positioning, and is suitable for the miniaturization required for built-in processors. Moreover, the high parallel processing ability of the tile architecture is the best for media operations involving same operation and repetitions of data volume. With the aim of time efficiency, SIMD style operation was installed. However with device miniaturization a high level of integrations necessary
