A Fully-Integrated Energy-Efficient H.265/HEVC Decoder with eDRAM for Wearable Devices

Data movement to and from off-chip memory dominates energy consumption in most video decoders, with DRAM accesses consuming 2.8x-6x more energy than the processing itself. We present a H.265/HEVC video decoder with embedded DRAM (eDRAM) as main memory. We propose the following techniques to optimize...
