Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel video signal processor (VSP) architecture, named VS-VSP, which combines the very long instruction word (VLIW) control with the single instruction multiple data (SIMD) processing technology. The SIMD architecture provides high performance for the computation-intensive tasks, and the VLIW control introduces satisfactory flexibility to the whole system. In addition, a hierarchical memory organization is employed in VS-VSP to tackle the high data-bandwidth requirements in the video signal processing application. The proposed VS-VSP architecture can be exploited for implementing a variety of video coding algorithms efficiently.
