Title
Optimized Mapping Of Pixels Into Memory For H.264/Avc Decoding
Abstract
This paper presents an optimized mapping of pixels into the external SDRAM for H.264/AVC video decoding. The modern SDRAM system usually employs the burst-access mode as well as the multi-bank architecture to improve the utility efficiency. If the accessed video pixels can be placed uniformly and successively across different memory banks, both of them will be used with high efficiency. Based on a statistic method, this paper traces and analyzes the actual memory accesses of H.264/AVC decoding and gives an optimized placement of pixels in the SDRAM-the optimized data unit is 8x8. Moreover, the efficiencies of the optimized cache and pre-fetch technologies are also evaluated, which show that this optimization can improve both the cache hit ratio and the pre-fetch effect apparently.
