Kirkkonummi 14.9.2012 Thesis supervisor: Prof. Vesa V¨alim¨aki Thesis instructor: M.Sc. (Tech.) Jussi Pekonen Aalto University School of Electrical A! Engineering aalto university abstract of the school of electrical engineering master's thesis Author: Antti Pakarinen Title: Multi-core platforms for audio and multimedia coding algorithms in telecommunications Date: 14.9.2012 Language: English Number of pages: 9+63 Department of Signal processing and Acoustics Professorship: Acoustics and Audio Signal processing Code: S-89 Supervisor: Prof. Vesa V¨alim¨aki Instructor: M.Sc. (Tech.) Jussi Pekonen Multimedia coding algorithms used in telecommunications evolve constantly. Ben- efits and properties of two new hybrid audio codecs (USAC, Opus) were reviewed on a high level as a literature study. It was found that both have succeeded well in subjective sound quality measurements. Tilera TILEPro64-multicore platform and a related software library was evaluated in terms of performance in multimedia coding. The performance in video coding was found to increase with the number of processing cores up to a certain point. With the tested audio codecs, increasing the number of cores did not increase coding performance. Additionally, multicore products of Tilera, Texas Instruments and Freescale were compared. Develop- ment tools of all three vendors were found to have similiar features, despite the differences in hardware architectures.
