Abstract

A methodology for performance estimation of streaming media applications for different platforms is presented. The methodology derives a complexity profile for an application as a platform-independent metric, and enables performance estimation on potential platforms by correlating the complexity profile with platform-specific data. By example of an MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) video decoder, performance estimation results are presented. As one particular benefit, the approach can be employed to explore what hardware functions are most suited for the implementation on reconfigurable architectures.
