MPEG-2 in a Stream Programming Language

Tags: uncommon, embedded systems, productivity, developers, applications

Overview Image and video codecs are prevalent in multimedia applications, ranging from embedded systems, to desktop computers, to high-end servers such as HDTV editing consoles. It is not uncommon however that developers create (from scratch) and customize their codec implementations for each of the architecture targets they intend their coders and decoders to run on. This practice is time consuming and error prone, leading to code that is not malleable or portable. This paper describes an implementation of the MPEG-2 codec using the StreamIt programming language. StreamIt is an architecture independent stream language that aims to improve programmer productivity, while concomitantly exposing the inherent parallelism and communication topology of the application.
