Abstract

This paper proposes a high-performance intra prediction architecture that can support H.264/AVC high profile. The proposed MB/block co-reordering can avoid data dependency and improve pipeline utilization. Therefore, the timing constraint of real-time 4kx2k encoding can be achieved with negligible quality loss. 16×16 prediction engine and 8×8 prediction engine work parallel for prediction and coefficients generating. A reordering interlaced reconstruction is also designed for fully pipelined architecture. It takes only 160 cycles to process one macroblock (MB). Hardware utilization of prediction and reconstruction modules is almost 100%. Furthermore, PE-reusable 8×8 intra predictor and hybrid SAD & SATD mode decision are proposed to save hardware cost. The design is implemented by 90nm CMOS technology with 113.2k gates and can encode 4kx2k video sequences at 60 fps with operation frequency of 310MHz.
