Cost-effective low-power architectures of video coding systems

A new low-power design technique, multirate, has been used along with other methods such as look-ahead, pipelining in designing the cost-effective low-power architectures of video coding system. We demonstrate both low-power and high-speed can be accomplished at algorithm/architecture level. Based on the calculation and simulation results, the design can achieve significant power saving in the range of 60% - 80%or speedup factor of two at the needs of users.
