A real-time media framework for asymmetric MPSoC

Abstract

Multiprocessor-system-on-a-chips (MPSoCs) are being increasingly employed to solve a diverse spectrum of problems from both high-end and low-end computing. Multimedia streaming applications can get great performance from them, but developing MPSoC software that guarantees real-time requirements is very difficult. In this paper, we present an architecture of real-time media framework that can provide both easy of programming and real-time guarantee to multimedia applications. In addition, programming model and mechanism for real-time guarantee are briefly explained. Issues in developing media framework on asymmetric MPSoC hardware further presented, which we are going to apply in our media framework implementation
