Objective
High performance 64 bit microprocessors with multimedia features will emerge as the technology to make consumer applications real and affordable. These processors will give the option to produce flexible, software orientated solutions replacing the more hardware orientated solutions available today. The objective of this project is to develop the software tools and algorithms required to support the porting of real applications and demonstrate the use of a software approach to multimedia applications.
To do this the new 64 bit Chameleon Processor and Software Development Tools under development by SGS-Thomson will be used. Bath University will develop the compression algorithms essential to making both applications cost effective.
The project will deliver:
- Market requirements Specification
- Compilers/Debuggers
- Run-time Kernel
- Simulators to demonstrate application Software
- Compression/Decompression algorithms
- Application software using tools and algorithms above
- Prototype Hardware.
Two application users will demonstrate the use of tools
- Ferrotec will demonstrate use in a multi-function printer unit
- Visual Tools will demonstrate a video surveillance system.
Both companies plan to exploit this technology in future products
