Research Project Outline
The purpose of this project is to reduce the electric power consumption by 1/100 of the current product((a))fs one in the area of multimedia information processing such as video, image, audio and text. New innovative technologies will be developed to achieve this goal. (1) Optimum algorithm to assign Error Correcting Code and/or Encryption Code to the media content by taking account of the importance of the information itself, (2) Low power circuit design for video compression, error correction and encryption functions by introducing a new algorithm and architecture. (3) High level synthesis EDA tool integrated with Floor Plan design and a new configurable processor design.
