A DSP HEVC decoder implementation based on OpenHEVC

The new High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC) standard will replace H.264 soon in consumer multimedia applications. The open source project OpenHEVC is working on an efficient implementation of the HEVC decoder in C language. In this paper, an HEVC decoder based on OpenHEVC for DSP technology is presented. The tests show that it outperforms by 2.3 a previously developed HM9.0-based decoder for the same DSP.
