Abstract
The experimental evaluation of the techniques presented in Chaps. 4 and 5 are discussed in this chapter. In the previous chapters, we have already included the sensitivity analysis of the individual parts within the algorithmic and architectural details, whenever deemed useful. Here, the main results and comparison with other state-of-the-art techniques are presented, to provide an overview to the reader about gains and drawbacks of these techniques. Major emphasis of the results is video encoding, specifically H.264/AVC and HEVC video encoders. It must also be noted that these encoders have much more modules and higher complexity than many benchmark applications available in Parsec [1], MediaBench [2], Cosmic [3], and MiBench [4] benchmark suites.
The authors would like to point out that this work was carried out when all the authors were in Department of Computer Science, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany.
