Abstract

In this paper, we propose an effective dynamic thermal management (DTM) scheme for MPEG-2 decoding by allowing some degree of spatiotemporal quality degradation. Given a target MPEG-2 decoding time, we dynamically select either an intra-frame spatial degradation or an inter-frame temporal degradation strategy in order to make sure that the microprocessor chip will continue to stay in a thermally safe state of operation, albeit with certain amount of image/video quality loss. For our experiments, we use the MPEG-2 decoder program of MediaBench and modify/combine Wattch and HotSpot for the power and thermal simulations and measurements, respectively. Our experimental results show that we achieve thermally safe state with spatial quality degradation of 0.12 Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and with frame drop rate of 12.5% on average.

GOP-level dynamic thermal management in MPEG-2 decoding

In this paper, we present a dynamic thermal management (DTM) algorithm based on: 1) accurate estimation of the workload of frames in a group of pictures (GOP) in an MPEG-2 video stream and 2) slack borrowing across the GOP frames in order to achieve a ...
Requantization for transcoding of MPEG-2 intraframes

An investigation on requantization for transcoding of video signals is carried out. Specifically, MPEG-2 compatible discrete cosine transform (DCT) intraframe coding is addressed. The aim of this work is twofold: first, to provide a theoretical analysis ...
