Analyzing the Performance of Multimedia Applications in Pentium Processors

This paper presents the study and results of running four core multimedia applications on Pentium IV architecture with and without HTT support. The proposed approach is based on three main steps: first step is to analyze the theoretical concepts. The second step is to verify the concepts by considering various multimedia applications. The third step is to propose a new technique. Based on the analysis, the two observations were made. a) Irrespective of the image format (JPG, BMP or GIF), processor with HTT support increase the speed of the processor. b) Including the threading concept enhances the speed of the processor. So an attempt is made to propose new technique, which makes use of threading concept. .Keywords: Pentium IV, BMP, GIF, HTT, and Threading
