Abstract

The present specification discloses a processing architecture that has multiple levels of parallelism and is highly configurable, yet optimized for media processing. At the highest level, the architecture is structured to enable each processor, which is dedicated to a specific media processing function, to operate substantially in parallel. In addition to processor-level parallelism, each processing unit can operate on multiple words in parallel, rather than just a single word per clock cycle. Moreover, at the instruction level, the control data memory, data memory, and function specific data paths can be controlled all within the same clock cycle. Additionally, the processor has multiple layers of configurability, with the extendable data path of the processor being capable of being configured to perform specific processing functions, such as entropy encoding, discrete cosine transform (DCT), inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT), motion compensation, motion estimation, de-blocking filter, de-interlacing, de-noising, quantization, and dequantization.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of processor architecture, and more particularly to a processing unit comprising a stenciled front-end processor (FEP) having an extensible datapath portion that tailors the FEP to a number of specific functional processing needs. Background technique [0002] Media processing and communication devices include hardware and software systems that enable the processing and transmission of media with interdependent processing. Media processing includes the need for multiple processing functions, such as entropy coding, discrete cosine transform (DCT), inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT), motion compensation, deblock filtering, deinterleaving, and denoising. Typically, different functional processing units may be dedicated to each of the aforementioned different functional needs and the structure of each functional unit is specific to the encoding method or standard used in a given processing device....
