Action Items for today:
Choose cross toolchain for our use (GCC or ARM compiler) Use Maemo scratchbox toolchain
- Need to agree on H.264 profile and benchmark streams
Get best H.264 code inside Nokia to use as a baseline, performance wise (Gopal and Soracha) Have ARM version
Look at the H.264 decoders shown at ISSCC) Papers uploaded.
Action Items for 2/28/06:
- Gopal will find DSP version of H.264
- [tentative] Jae will present H.264 algorithm to the group, after gathering some profile data
- Jae will put his code into CVS and share the pointer to the group
- Jae and Soracha will sync up their efforts
- Ken, John, Gopal and Jamey will talk about simulators and John will report to Krste this afternoon
Action Items:
- Arvind: next publication deadline is ICCAD in April, always a good idea to submit a paper
- Need to define data formats so that simulators and executable models can feed into thermal and power models
- For one level of results, can feed event counts into separate power/thermal models, but execution can effect power dynamically, so need to cosimulate it
- Write a description for what is required for the simulator
- Take the instruction set simulator from skyeye, wrap it for SMASH framework, hook it up to magic memory model
- Also need proxy kernel, perhaps from simit or simplescalar kernel?
