Abstract :
Multiprocessor SoCs are increasingly important for multimedia systems. This article presents a methodology for the architectural design of multimedia multiprocessor SoCs and illustrates its advantages using a generic implementation of a real-time gesture recognition application. The proposed methodology covers all the important architectural aspects from processor allocation to memory and network design. We demonstrate our methodology with our design of an experimental SoC for real-time video analysis.
