Performance evaluation of multithreaded architectures for media processing applications |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
In this paper, we present an architecture framework called SYM- PHUNYconsisting of a linear array of processors that exploits par- allelism in media applications at micro (ILP) and macro (threads) levels. High speed communication and synchronization necessary for efficient multithreading is achieved using novel hardware and software mechanisms. We demonstrate the efficacy of the SYM- PHONY framework by performance evaluation of an instance in the framework. We show that multithreaded architectures coupled with SIMD parallelism provides performance improvement in ex- cess of 2X over conventional superscalar architectures. |
