Multimedia applications, such as video playback, computational photography and speech processing, are becoming increasingly pervasive on battery-operated portable multimedia devices such as smartphones and tablets. High computational complexity of such applications requires efficient hardware implementations for real-time energy-efficient processing. The Terminal 2020 project explores power reduction techniques at various design stages (algorithms, architectures and circuits) to enable efficient integration of such applications on portable devices.
