Abstract: This paper presents a cross-layer approach for analyzing and designing energy-efficient advanced multimedia systems with next-generation High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. Our approach leverages both algorithmic and architectural layers of system design abstractions in order to achieve a high power/energy efficiency. We present an analysis and design of an HEVC-based multimedia system while leveraging algorithmic-architectural collaborative optimizations and video content properties to achieve high energy efficiency.
