Title
A Cost Conscious Performance Model For Media Processors
Abstract
The combination of multi-core, SIMD and VLIW schemes is becoming prevailing in today's media processor architectures. To achieve a deep insight into this trend, we propose a power conscious performance model based on the rationale of Hill and Marty's model. Several representative media application kernels are evaluated on the proposed model. The evaluation result shows that: for none communication applications, a large number of small cores achieve optimal performance; for communication applications, architectures with reduced core count and increased core size is preferred. Meanwhile, by increasing the SIMD width, better power efficiency can be achieved for both types of applications at a small loss of performance.
