Scalable heterogeneous SoC (HeSoC) platform

The processing of multi-channel high-definition (HD) videos in real-time has imposed many challenges to researchers and engineers in finding an optimal balance between programmability and hardware efficiency. This paper introduces a scalable heterogeneous SoC (HeSoC) platform which consists of multiple-SoCs inter-connected in a mesh network where each SoC provides both DSP-like design flexibility and ASIC-like performance simultaneously. The final paper will provide detailed description on motivation and principles of mapping advanced coding tools into hardware and software modules to achieve the best coding efficiency and flexibility.
