Highly parallel HEVC decoding for heterogeneous systems with CPU and GPU

作者:

Highlights:

• A highly parallel HEVC decoder for CPU+GPU systems is proposed.

• Multiple levels of parallelism are exploited on CPU and GPU simultaneously.

• Compared to state of the art, 167 fps (a 2.2× speedup) is achieved for 4K videos.

• An energy efficiency analysis for CPU-only and CPU+GPU decoding is performed.

• In CPU+GPU decoding, tuning GPU clocks can lead to an energy reduction up to 36%.
