mediaDSP™: A platform for building programmable multicore video processors

This article consists of a collection of slides from the authors' conference presentation. Summary points include: a platform-based approach enables rapid development of video processing solutions; programmability is important for addressing problems that have no unique solution and demand customer-tailored solutions; programming of heterogeneous cores can be simplified by promoting a uniform infrastructure for the cores; the heterogeneous approach provides programmability where flexibility is required and fixed function to save cost and power.
