ME607: Using Multichannel DRAM Subsystems to Create Scalable Architectures for Video SoCs
Day	03/18/09
Time	14:55-15:25
Company	Sonics, Inc.
Abstract	Sophisticated image and scaling algorithms for high definition video along with state of the art compression standards, such as H.264, are constantly pushing the limits of the memory subsystems with higher performance requirements. This presentation will address how a multichannel DRAM subsystem can provide a scalable and memory efficient solution for the next generation of video SoCs. This includes how to address DRAM efficiency issues when moving to DDR3 and how to minimize the impact on software and hardware cores, when implementing a complex physical memory architecture.
