Abstract :
This paper investigates the effects of technology scaling on video signal processing (VSP) architectures. We evaluate the processor, the memory, and the interconnect delays using RC models and study how the response times of these logic components scale with feature size. Architectural parameters such as clock skew, clock frequency, memory interleaving, memory efficiency, and average waiting times are analyzed in the light of the scaling behaviors of the above components
