Abstract

The invention discloses a device and a method for a multiprocessor video coding chip. The device comprises a multi-core coder including multiple processors, and an image slice unit. The image slice unit is used for segmenting a video image into multiple slices, and distributing the slices to different processors of the multi-core coder; the multi-core coder is used for imaging coding by means of parallel pipeline when processing the image slices by multiple processors, and sending a massage to the image slice unit after a processor of the multi-core coder finishes processing one slice, such that the image slice unit sends a next slice to the processor. The device also comprises a frequency control unit for adjusting the processing speeds of the processors of the multi-core coder by using dynamic frequency adjusting method. The invention can greatly reduce power consumption without affecting the running speed of a whole task.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of digital video signal processing, in particular to a multi-processor video encoding chip device and method. Background technique [0002] While transistor budgets continued to increase and microprocessor design techniques continued to improve, the ability to clock a chip while keeping heat dissipation within reasonable limits began to hit a snag a few years ago. Washington-based Digital Power Group energy research firm estimates that today's computers consume about 10% of the total electricity generated in the United States, and this figure will double by 2015, so the United States is considering legislation to force companies and technology to provide reduce energy consumption. [0003] And by switching to a multi-core design within a single chip, processing manufacturers can reduce or maintain clock rates while controlling dissipated heat, doubling the number of processing engines available in the same ...
