An enhanced DSP architecture for the seven multimedia functions: the Mpact 2 media processor

Robert Owen, S. Purcell

Abstract

This paper reviews the architectural enhancements to the second generation of a VLIW media processor. The concept of a media processor is introduced and its application in an x86 family personal computer platform is described. The architectural choices made in the original Mpact media processor are explained as are how they were extended in the latest version based on design experience and changing requirements.
