At the heart of the platform are two specialized processor types a Stream Processor (SP) and a Vector 3

4 Processor (VP). The Stream Processor is responsible for bit stream coding, bit stream manipulation, and system control code execution. The Vector Processor performs the filtering and the vector-type operations required for pixel processing. Both processor types are designed for ease of programmability and are supported by an optimizing C-compiler and application profiler. To meet the precise requirements of a wide range of portable multimedia and home entertainment applications, the number of Stream and Vector Processors (as well as the type and size of memories) can be configured to address each specific usecase so as to achieve the optimal balance of performance and efficiency. The Stream and Vector processors are combined into a complete multi-core system that also includes local and shared memories, peripherals, DMA, and standard bridges to external busses. This comprehensive, highly-efficient, multicore platform was specifically designed to meet the computeintensive, low-power requirements of mobile and home entertainment devices. CEVA-MM3000 Vector Processor The CEVA-MM3000 Vector Processor (VP) is a highly efficient and powerful vector engine that handles pixel processing, filters, and transformation operations. Based on a combination of a Very Long Instruction Width (VLIW) and vector architecture with a 10-stage pipeline, the vector processor offers massively parallel computational capabilities in two vector processing units (VPU0 and VPU1). The vector processor specializes in performing operations on two-dimensional blocks of data; it can perform byte- or word-level operations and it can perform 32 operations in parallel. CEVA-MM3000 Stream Processor The CEVA-MM3000 Stream Processor (SP) is a very efficient and powerful engine tailored for bit stream processing and control code operations. The Stream Processor is based on a unique mix of Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) and Single Instruction Multiple (SIMD) architectures with an 8-stage pipeline that easily supports various combinations of load and execution operations. The VLIW architecture allows a high level of concurrent instructions processing, thereby providing extended parallelism and low power consumption. The SIMD architecture allows single instructions to operate on multiple data elements, thereby resulting in code size reduction and increased performance. Most instructions take only one cycle; for example, the processor has dedicated instructions for entropy coding and can decode or encode Exp-Golomb symbols in a single cycle. Furthermore, zero penalty on branch miss prediction makes this processor ideal for control and system functions.
