Bitstream analyzing unit 111 fetches a coded block pattern and a coded quantized DCT coefficient from each block in a bitstream. Entropy decoding unit 112 decodes the coded block pattern into a block pattern and decodes the coded quantized DCT coefficient into pairs of a run length and an effectiveness factor. Dequantization unit 115 generates orthogonal transformation coefficients from the pairs of a run length and an effectiveness factor. Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform (IDCT) unit 110 generates a difference image from the orthogonal transformation coefficients. Decode controlling unit 110 instructs first selecting unit 118 to select constants “0”output from first constant generating unit 117 when the image is a “skipped” block. Image storage unit 120 stores a plurality of reference frame pictures having been decoded. Image restoring unit 119 restores an original block by adding a decoded difference image to a reference block read from the reference frame pictures stored in the image storage unit 120.

An image memory stores a one-screen image by dividing the one-screen image into a plurality of image blocks which are each m pixels wide by n pixels high. The image memory has an array-like storage region storing s*t first chrominance components that compose one image block and s*t second chrominance components that compose the same image block in serial areas between a start area specified by a row address and a first column address and an end area specified by the same row address and a second column address (see FIG. 10). The storage region also stores m*n luminance components that compose the same image block in serial areas between a different start area specified by a different row address and a third column address and an end area are specified by the different row address and a fourth column address.

A data processing apparatus having a pipelined architecture, includes an instruction fetch unit for fetching an instruction from a memory; an instruction decode unit for decoding the instruction fetched by the instruction fetch unit, and outputting fetch control data regarding operand fetching and operation control data regarding execution of the instruction; an execution unit for receiving the execution control data directly from the instruction decode unit, and executing a predetermined operation based on the operation control data; and an operand fetch unit for receiving the fetch control data directly from the instruction decode unit, and fetching an operand from a source other than registers in the execution unit. The operand fetch unit fetches the operand concurrently with processing in a second cycle, and subsequent cycles if any, of the operation executed by the execution unit and requiring at least two machine cycles for execution.

A signal-processing apparatus includes an instruction-parallel processor, a first data-parallel processor, a second data-parallel processor, and a motion detection unit, a de-blocking filtering unit and a variable-length coding/decoding unit which are dedicated hardware. With this structure, during signal processing of an image compression and decompression algorithm needing a large amount of processing, the load is distributed between software and hardware, so that the signal-processing apparatus can realize high processing capability and flexibility.

Provided is a plasma display system capable of restricting peak data traffic when a shared memory is used. In the plasma display system, a control unit 104 prohibits a moving picture decoder 101 from accessing a shared memory 140 while an SF reading unit 101 is reading, from the shared memory 140, SF pixel data which is information about respective cells to be lit in a plurality of subfields. On the other hand, the control unit 104 permits the moving picture decoder 101 to access the shared memory 140 while the SF reading unit 101 is not reading the SF pixel data from the shared memory 140, that is to say, during a sustain discharge period.
摘要:
A processor for sequentially executing a plurality of programs using a plurality of register value groups stored in a memory that correspond one-to-one with the programs. The processor includes a plurality of register groups; a select/switch unit operable to select one of the plurality of register groups as an execution target register group on which a program execution is based, and to switch the selection target every time a first predetermined period elapses; a restoring unit operable to restore, every time the switching is performed, one of the register value groups into one of the register groups that is not selected as the execution target register group; a saving unit operable to save, prior to the restoring, register values in the register group targeted for restoring, by overwriting a register value group in the memory that corresponds to the register values; and a program execution unit operable to execute, every time the switching is performed, a program corresponding to a register value group in the execution target register group.
摘要:
An arbitration device arbitrates among master devices such that each master device is allowed to access a shared memory at a predetermined bandwidth, and the arbitration device permits an access request in a first period that a designer has set as desired if the access request has been made by a specific master device beyond a bandwidth that has been allocated in advance. The arbitration device masks an access request from the specific master device in a second period that follows the first period.
摘要:
In response to a write request from a master to write to an external device, a control unit holds a write address and write data from the master in a write address holding unit and in a write data holding unit, respectively, outputs a reception signal to the master, and writes the write data to the external device specified by the write address. When the master holds the read address in the read address holding unit, the control unit reads data from the external device specified by the read address, and holds the read data in the read data holding unit.
