The proposed stepwise methods aim at exploiting the structure and the resources of the processor as much as possible for software algorithm optimization. To achieve low memory usage and low frequency need for the same performance, this co-optimization approach was used to optimize embedded software of MP3 decoder based on a 16-bit fixed-point DSP core. After the optimization, the results of decoding 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz stereo MP3 on DSP evaluation platform need 45.9 MIPS and 20.4 kbytes memory space. The optimization rate achieves 65.6% for memory and 49.6% for frequency respectively compared with the results by compiler using floating-point computation. The experimental result indicates the availability of the hardware/software co-optimization approach depending on the algorithm and architecture.展开更多

C code level optimization algorithms on inverse quantization, stereo decoding and alias reduction based on PC were proposed to further reduce the amount of memory usage and the computational complex ity. Furthermore, the executable file of the optimized MP3 decoder was generated under the Linux environment, and transplanted to the set top box based on Broadcom embedded platform. Experi ment results showed that the total time for decoding was reduced on the embedded platform, and the goal of real time and fluent playing of audio files was fulfilled, which demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed MP3 decoder. The proposed MP3 decoder could be applied in fields such xs the set top box based on Broadcom embedded platform and other portable devices.展开更多
