| Abstract | In the design of embedded systems, programmable processors gain more and more importance due to their high flexibility and potential for reuse. As a consequence, compilers for embedded processors are required, capable of generating very fast and dense code. In particular, this concerns the area of computation-intensive multimedia applications. While domain-specific digital signal processors may offer sufficient performance for multimedia, they show comparatively low flexibility and pose difficult problems to compiler and software developers due to their irregular architectures. In fact, meeting the system specification while minimizing the costs frequently requires time-consuming assembly-level programming of embedded processors. Recent media processors cover a larger set of application areas and, due to a more regular architecture, also facilitate the construction of compilers capable of generating high-quality machine code. However, media processors simultaneously introduce new challenges for compiler technology. In this paper, we motivate the use of media processors and we present two new compiler optimizations for such processors. 1 |
