Performance Analysis of Optimized Versatile Video Coding Software Decoders on Embedded Platforms
In recent years, the global demand for high-resolution videos and the emergence of new multimedia applications have created the need for a new video coding standard. Hence, in July 2020 the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard was released providing up to 50% bit-rate saving for the same video quality compared to its predecessor High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). However, this bit-rate saving comes at the cost of a high computational complexity, particularly for live applications and on resource-constraint embedded devices. This paper presents two optimized VVC software decoders, named OpenVVC and Versatile Video deCoder (VVdeC), designed for low resources platforms. They exploit optimization techniques such as data level parallelism using Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions and functional level parallelism using frame, tile and slice-based parallelisms. Furthermore, a comparison in terms of decoding run time, energy and memory consumption between the two decoders is presented while targeting two different resource-constraint embedded devices. The results showed that both decoders achieve real-time decoding of Full High definition (FHD) resolution over the first platform using 8 cores and High-definition (HD) real-time decoding for the second platform using only 4 cores with comparable results in terms of average consumed energy: around 26 J and 15 J for the 8 cores and 4 cores embedded platforms, respectively. Regarding the memory usage, OpenVVC showed better results with less average maximum memory consumed during run time compared to VVdeC.
