Abstract :
In this paper, we present a reconfigurable multimedia accelerator (RMA) weakly coupled to an application processor. RMA relies on explicit multithreading and streaming intrinsics to mitigate the effects of memory latency and efficient bandwidth requirements dictated by modern multimedia applications. RMA is designed in 65 nm and operates at a working frequency of 200 MHz.
