VLIW architectures for video signal processing
Wayne H. Wolf · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1998
This paper surveys the state-of-the-art in very long instruction word (VLIW) architectures for video signal processing (VSP). Several factors make VLIW and video a good match, including the large amounts of data parallelism in video programs and the ability to implement VLIW VSPs on a single chip. The paper first introduces the canonical VLIW architecture, then considers several alternative architectural approaches for video processing, and finally discusses some VLIW VSP architectures in more detail.
