Modern consumer electronics require efficient and versatile processors as their heart for various functions. This paper shows how our reconfigurable processor (RP) accelerates various multimedia applications even with different features. The RP provides an acceleration mode powered by modulo scheduling algorithm and intrinsic specialized to each application. By exploiting these two, RP can enhance the performance up to 71.54x for audio, video, image signal processing (ISP), 3D graphics and major communication channel applications (DVBT2).
