Design of a Coarse-grain Reconfigurable Cell for Video Processing

This paper presents VORC(Video Oriented Reconfigurable Cell),a coarse-grain reconfigurable cell optimized for video processing. The cell has been designed to provide a dense support for video processing 8-bit arithmetic operations such as addition,subtraction,multiplication,multiply-accumulation and absolute value of the difference. The cell has been descripted with verilog and synthsized under 0.18μm COMS proces with Synopsys Design Compiler. The area is 97 913μm2 and the critical path is 4.51nm and the total dynamic power is 4.2mW. The entire 8×8 2D-DCT and FSBM MAD respectively require 10 and 15 cycles.
