Abstract

Emerging video-mining applications such as image and video retrieval and indexing will require real-time processing capabilities. A many-core architecture with 64 small, in-order, general-purpose cores as the accelerator can help meet the necessary performance goals and requirements. The key video-mining modules can achieve parallel speedups of 19× to 62× from 64 cores and get an extra 2.3× speedup from 128-bit SIMD vectorization on the proposed architecture.
