Abstract

This talk discusses the practical use of digital signal processing algorithms for multimedia applications. The focus of the talk will be on how to take advantage of a new multi-processor hardware architecture in order to achieve multiple application usage. Several present and future applications will be discussed with a high-level implementation description of an AMR audio codec and JPEG2000 image decoder.
