摘要:
Systems and methods for optimizing system performance in variable length decoding systems are described. Embodiments are described in which decode tables are analyzed and elements of the tables sorted by probability of occurrence. Storage of elements can be determined by probability of occurrence and embodiments of the present invention can optimize system efficiency by storing most likely entries into fast-memory and least likely entries in slowest memory. In certain embodiments, a single large table is provided that cannot fit into decoder fast-memory. In some embodiments, individual elements can be optimized for storage in fast-memory by selecting more frequently occurring entries or groups of entries into decoder memory.

摘要:
Methods and systems that leverage the advantages of Huffman coding to increase processing efficiency of a data-stream while simultaneously minimizing storage requirements are provided. Decoding efficiency and table storage requirements can be balanced to produce systems that can be adapted for use in high-end network infrastructure applications and for low-resourced portable consumer devices. The systems and methods are operative in decoding data streams using multi-symbol codes and sign information, including AAC and MP3 data streams. A hierarchical structure of tables is described as having primary tables, secondary tables, tertiary tables and so on. Optimization balances processing requirements, table storage requirements and the described systems and methods may be implemented on a variety of processing platforms.

A method and system for performing a 2D transform is disclosed. The 2D transform may include a row transform and/or a column transform. When performing the row or column transform, it may be determined whether each of different subsets of the data values including a partition of a row or column includes at least one zero value, whether each of different subsets of a first subset of the partition includes at least one zero value, and whether each of different subsets of at least one other subset of the partition includes at least one zero value. When performing the row or column transform, at least one transformation operation on at least one zero value may be bypassed or performed in a reduced-power manner, where such transformation operation would otherwise be performed in a manner consuming full power if the zero value were a non-zero value.

In some embodiments, a data processing system including an operation unit including circuitry configurable to perform any selected one of a number of operations on data (e.g., audio data) and a configuration unit configured to assert configuration information to configure the operation unit to perform the selected operation. When the operation includes matrix multiplication of a data vector and a matrix whose coefficients exhibit symmetry, the configuration information preferably includes bits that determine signs of all but magnitudes of only a subset of the coefficients. When the operation includes successive addition and subtraction operations on operand pairs, the configuration information preferably includes bits that configure the operation unit to operate in an alternating addition/subtraction mode to perform successive addition and subtraction operations on each pair of data values of a sequence of data value pairs. In some embodiments, the configuration information includes bits that configure the operation unit to operate in a non-consecutive (e.g., butterfly or bit-reversed) addressing mode to access memory locations having consecutive addresses in a predetermined non-consecutive sequence. Other aspects are audio encoders and decoders including any embodiment of, and configuration units and operation units for use in, any embodiment of the system, and methods performed during operation of any embodiment of the system or configuration or operation unit thereof.

摘要:
In some embodiments, a method for performing and a system configured to perform a 2D transform (for example, an inverse discrete cosine transform) on each block of a sequence of data blocks, where the 2D transform includes a row transform and a column transform. To perform the row or column transform on a row or column of data, these embodiments determine whether each of different subsets of the data values comprising a partition of the row (column) includes at least one zero value, whether each of different subsets of a first subset of the partition includes at least one zero value, and whether each of different subsets of at least one other subset of the partition includes at least one zero value. When performing the row (column) transform on each row or column that includes at least one zero value and at least one non-zero value, at least one transformation operation on at least one zero value is bypassed or performed in a reduced-power manner, where such transformation operation would otherwise be performed in a manner consuming full power if the zero value were a non-zero value. In some embodiments, the system is a pipelined video decoding system or other video processing system (or a video processing subsystem of a portable media player or other system) including a transform engine implemented in accordance with the invention. Other aspects are transform engines and transform engine circuitry for use in any embodiment of the system.
