Computational cost estimation of a RTL JPEG architecture with Powersim

The JPEG architectures in literature do not implement many features defined in the standard, useful in several wireless applications, such as noise protection, components management and the possibility to change a lot of encoder parameters. The addition of these features alters the computational cost of the encoder, and this could lead to problems when the power consumption is a primary concern. In this work we use Powersim to check the influence of these features on the computational cost of a JPEG encoder with some new features and for different implementations of some of its modules.
