ABSTRACT:
A design technique is disclosed that allows video processing hardware designers to effectively employ the requirements of a video processing standard (e.g., H.264specification or other such standard) during the hardware architecture design phase of the design process. The technique eliminates or otherwise reduces costly multiple passes through the resource intensive implementation and verification portions of the design process, and allows designers to make changes to the hardware architecture design, thereby ensuring verification at the implementation phase.
