Implementation of multi-standard video decoding algorithms on a coarse-grained reconfigurable multimedia processor

This paper proposed a THPHP (Task-based Hybrid Parallels and Hybrid Pipelines) scheme to implement multistandard video decoding algorithms, i.e. MPEG-2, H.264 and AVS (Audio Video coding Standard), on a heterogeneous coarsegrained reconfigurable multimedia processor called REMUS (REconfigurable MUltimedia System). Multiple level parallelism and multiple level pipeline techniques are proposed in this scheme. Simulation results show that the video decoder can support H.264 HP (High Profile) 1920×1080@30fps (frame per second) streams, AVS JP (Jizhun Profile) 1920×1080@39fps streams, and MPEG-2 MP (Main Profile) 1920×1080@41fps streams when exploiting a 200MHz working frequency.
