Conference ACIVS in Catania, Italy.

I’ve done a talk at the conference ACIVS in Catania, Italy. It was during a special session for the COPCAMS european project

This talk was « Binary Code Generation for Multimedia Application on Embedded Platforms »

The abstract was :

<< Multimedia applications such as video compression, image processing, face recognition, run now on embedded platforms. The huge computing power
needed is provided by the  evolution of the transistor density  and by using specialized   accelerators. Theses accelerators are supported by multimedia
instructions set.
Using theses complex instructions can be a nightmare for the engineer
because there is many way to program it, quality of the compiler support
can be random depending on the couple compiler/platform and worse,
performances can be data dependent. Using libraries can be an option if
such library exist and provide enough performances.
In this talk I’ll illustrate the difficulty to generate binary code for this
application domain by practical example of code generation. Then I’ll
show a tool deGoal which is developed in house to resolve these problems. >>

What a wonderfull conference room for a conference on Vision Systems.
