Resource scalable decoding

摘要

A complexity scalable decoder system and method. The system comprises: a decoder having a plurality of functional blocks for decoding compressed video data, the decoder further includes a plurality of scalable functions for selectively reducing a complexity of at least one of the functional blocks; and a local resource controller for generating a scaling strategy for the decoder, wherein the scaling strategy is selected in response to a complexity requirement received from a system resource manager, and wherein the scaling strategy is selected from a plurality of predetermined scaling strategies available to the local resource controller. Each of the predetermined scaling strategies may be selected from a look-up table designed off-line.
