Title
A Novel Design for Computation of All Transforms in H.264/AVC Decoders
Abstract
In this paper, we design a novel architecture for computing all transforms required in H.264/AVC high profile decoder. This flexible architecture design can compute all transforms including 8 and 4-point integer transforms as well as 4 and 2-point Hardamard transforms such that we can reduce the implementation chip area dramatically. With 8 pixels/cycle throughput, this proposed design can complete the computation in 95 clock cycles with 8times8 inverse transform involved or 54 clock cycles without 8times8 inverse transform for one macroblock. Simulation results show that the implemented area is 18.5 k gate counts, and the maximum clock frequency is 125 MHz. For the real-time requirement, the architecture can deal with all existed frame sizes in 4:2:0 format. For example, if this architecture is operated at 106 MHz, it achieves 4096times2304@30 frames/sec.
