An implementation comparison of the HEVC encoder on two embedded processors

Abstract

This paper adeals with an implementation and comparison of the last software version of the new video coding standard High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) encoder in the embedded processors ARM cortex A8 and A9 using NEON Technology which is the single-instruction-multiple-data for these processors. The two processors reveal almost the same performances but with the computational complexity of the proposed encoder HEVC implementation is decreased by about 4 times when compared with the default execution with the same coding quality.
