ABSTRACT:
A shared pipeline architecture is provided for H.264 motion vector prediction and residual decoding, and intra prediction for CABAC and CALVC entropy in Main Profile and High Profile for standard and high definition applications. All motion vector predictions and residual decoding of I-type, P-type, and B-type pictures are completed through the shared pipeline. The architecture enables better performance and uses less memory than conventional architectures. The architecture can be completely implemented in hardware as a system-on-chip or chip set using, for example, field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology or application specific integrated circuitry (ASIC) or other custom-built logic.
