similar to: Multi-thread Theora Decoder

Great news! Theora is running on FPGA. After almost a year of a great effort we have Theora validated on FPGA. Now I will try to integrated the hardware with a video controller to see the video! I completely implemented the ExpandBlock, CopyRecon, LoopFilter and UpdateUMVBorder functions. The ReconRefFrames function was partially implemented and the part before will run on a software compiled

Hi all, Great news. On Thursday I finally play a video on FPGA. As I said the implementation is using the NIOS II processor. Andr? Costa is hard working to use the LEON processor. The video resolution is 96x80, because we have some FPGA internal memory constraints. I will try to use external memory to make possible decode a video of at least 320x240. The result can be see here:

Hi, I did some improvements and some bug corrections in Theora FPGA code. I'd like to post this new version in the SVN. How can I do that? Thanks -- Leonardo de Paula Rosa Piga Undergraduate Computer Engineering Student LSC - IC - UNICAMP http://www.students.ic.unicamp.br/~ra033956

Hi all, I apologize to not keep you up to date to what is going on with my project. Portavales has worked in a desk behind me and when we go to take coffee we talk about the project. Second I didn't know we have to discuss weekly, it was my fault. I should have read the rules. Sorry. At the first month, I studied the code and the Theora Beta implementation. The code is completely different

Hi all, I have to compare the theora codec with MPEG and H264. I was googling and I found that the PSNR is a common used parameter. How can I do this with Theora?

What is the PostProcessingLevel field of PB_INSTANCE? When is it used? It is used for all Theora's video or it is just for legacy support with VP3? Thanks -- Leonardo de Paula Rosa Piga Undergraduate Computer Engineering Student LSC - IC - UNICAMP http://www.students.ic.unicamp.br/~ra033956

Hi, This email is to inform what I have been doing since the mid-term. After the mid-term I worked on a pipeline implementation with OpenMP. As I said before I did a pipelined implementation of these functions: (c_dec_dc_unpredict_mcu_plane + oc_dec_frags_recon_mcu_plane) and (oc_state_loop_filter_frag_rows + oc_state_borders_fill_rows) as explained in my previous email. But the results were

Hello, First of all, I would like to say that my work that I wrote in the other email would be to do in hardware the functions: CopyRecon, LoopFilter and UpdateUMVBorder. These are modules that Leonardo had made, but it wasn't ok in FPGA. When I had a chat with Leonardo we were thinking in rewrite these module for to do this running in FPGA (to debug in a Hardware level is much more

I have tried to add a plunging to the "libtheora-1.0beta2" (network bandwidth measuring component was added) and Got it success for some far now the problem is when it is added the encoding process get extremely slow (around 20 seconds delay). I think that the problem is with my modified Makefile (some flag may have missed). the following is my modified Makefile.am which is in the

Shows that as the MCU increases, the OpenMP extra overhead is amortized and OpenMP becomes as fast as the pthreads implementation. The last chart http://lampiao.lsc.ic.unicamp.br/~piga/gsoc_2008/systime.png Shows that both pthreads and OpenMP overhead decreases as what seems to be a logarithmic function of the MCU size. This was a great experiment, and from what I can conclude, the OpenMP

Hi people, As I said before: I did the IDCT to run on the FPGA. My friends from university did the Reconstruction routines running on the FPGA. I'm helping with the LoopFilter, and it is almost there. (all VHDL) I did a small profiling of the libTheora running on a Altera Stratix II device: The processor used was the NIOS II with 8Kb of data and instruction cache, branch prediction and

I'm trying to implement the dct_decoder's LoopFilter function in a FPGA. I need to know what is the maximum memory allocation size which display_fragment and recon_pixel_index_table points. These are fields of PB_INSTANCE structure that is declared in the codec_internal.h Thank you =========================== Leonardo de Paula Rosa Piga Computer Engineering Student Universidade

Hello people My name is Felipe and I sent a proposal to the Google Summer of Code that the goal is to get a FPGA embeded system decoding Theora Streams in real-time. It was accepted and the mentor is the Ralph Giles. The proposal can be viewd here: http://atlas.lsc.ic.unicamp.br/~portavales/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/soc_proposal.txt There is also a presentation with a better division of the

Hi folks, FYI: I've finally made some benchmarks for inline-assembler versus intrinsic based mmx code. I've just applied the changes to the fragment reconstruction functions as writing the IDCT and loopfilter have not been ported yet. Nevertheless here are some numbers: As a baseline I'll take the current version from the trunk with all inline assembler functions enabled. Lower

Hello, I 've just spent some trouble in tryng to fix archive attribute. At thi time a samba user different from the owner of a file can't set or unset the archive attribute from a Windows Client. Anyone know how to fix it? Please help me, It's a long time that the backup is unavailable and a hardware failure of the HD is coming....I'm sure... Bye, Carlo Piga

Theora hardware with LEON3 is runinng!!! My video was too slow, then I discovered that the problem was on LINUX! I don't exactly, but I suppose that the time of LINUX Call systems (like fread()) is the problem. If I don't use the linux (like is done on NIOS), I can to decode much faster than the time of exibition! Now we have two points on software (the hardware is the same,

Hi, The Integration with LEON (first part of my GSoC) is completed. http://atlas.lsc.ic.unicamp.br/~andre.lnc/theora_integration_with_leon3_full.png At the last week I had (leon3 + linux + libtheora) and (leon3 + send_vector_of_input + theora hardware) working ok. Firstly, I thougth that it just would be: http://atlas.lsc.ic.unicamp.br/~andre.lnc/theora_integration_with_leon3.png But it

Are there any academic papers that promote theora? I know of one, are there more?

Hello, I'm attaching IDCT MMX patch. I reused IDCT from theora-a3-MMXd.zip. It should work on 64bit X86 platform too.
