A video decoding apparatus includes a bitstream parser, a calculator and a memory. The bitstream parser is provided to receive a video bitstream and extracting a set of constraints associated with the video bitstream, wherein the set of constraints has information associated with a direct_8×8_inference flag for a macroblock of a picture, wherein the macroblock has N sub-macroblock partitions. The calculator is provided to calculate first motion vector information associated with the macroblock and obtain second motion vector information associated with K of the N sub-macroblock partitions from the first motion vector information according to the information associated with the direct_8×8_inference flag, wherein K is less than N. The memory is provided to store the second motion vector information.

For processing, e.g. encoding or decoding, a video stream, a type of a current macroblock unit is determined. The type indicates portions of corresponding macroblock parameter sets necessary for processing the current macroblock unit. The corresponding macroblock parameters are mapping to a dependent set of macroblock units of the current macroblock unit. The current macroblock unit is processed if a local buffer already stores the portions of the corresponding macroblock parameter sets. If data of the portions of the corresponding macroblock parameter sets that are not available in the local buffer, the data are copied from a memory circuit into the local buffer for processing the macroblock unit.

A method and apparatus for video encoding to generate a partitioned bitstream without buffering transform coefficient and/or prediction data for subsequent coding units are disclosed. An encoder incorporating an embodiment according to the present invention receives first video parameters associated with a current coding unit, wherein no first video parameters associated with subsequent coding units are buffered. The encoder then encodes the first video parameters to generate a current first compressed data corresponding to the current coding unit. A first memory address in the first logic unit is determined and the encoder provides the current first compressed data at the first memory address in the first logic unit.

A context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) method. The CABAC method for a bitstream comprises: detecting a control signal (Sig_first); decoding a first bin representing one of a first coefficient flag (Sig) and a second coefficient flag (Last) from the bitstream according to the control signal (Sig_first); decoding a second bin representing one of the second coefficient flag (Last) and a next first coefficient flag (Sig) from the bitstream according to the decoded first bin and the control signal (Sig_first); and updating the control signal (Sig_first) according to the decoded first and second bins. The first and second bins are decoded in one clock cycle, the first coefficient flag (Sig) indicates whether a corresponding coefficient value is zero, and the second coefficient flag (Last) indicates whether a coefficient map decoding process is finished.

A buffering apparatus for buffering context arrays of a multi-tile encoded picture having a plurality of tiles includes a first buffer and a second buffer. The first buffer is arranged to buffer a first context array referenced for performing entropy decoding upon a first tile of the multi-tile encoded picture. The second buffer is arranged to buffer a second context array referenced for performing entropy decoding upon a second tile of the multi-tile encoded picture. When the first tile is currently decoded according to the first context array buffered in the first buffer, the second context array is buffered in the second buffer.

A manycore networks-on-chip (NoC) formed by a plurality of clusters is provided. The manycore NoC includes redundant routers and connection channels therefore is fault-tolerant as long as the numbers of damaged routers and damaged connection channels are under predetermined thresholds. Moreover, the NoC can retain its original logical topology without isolating any core after resetting the connection channels in response to the damaged routers and connection channels.

One exemplary method for decoding a scalable video stream, including a base layer frame and at least an enhancement layer frame corresponding to the base layer frame, has the following steps: decoding the base layer frame; and before the base layer frame is fully decoded, decoding the enhancement layer frame. Another exemplary method for decoding a scalable video stream, including a base layer frame and at least an enhancement layer frame corresponding to the base layer frame, has the following steps: decoding the enhancement layer frame, and decoding the base layer frame; wherein a start point of decoding the enhancement layer frame is earlier than a start point of decoding the base layer frame.
