[vorbis-dev] Greeting from Ogg on a Chip project

[Pattara Kiatisevi]

Hi all,

This is to say hello to all of you as we are starting the project Ogg on a
Chip for our master thesis. More information can be found at
http://oggonachip.sourceforge.net/. Cut from the homepage:

"The Ogg Vorbis Player (http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/index.html) shall
be implemented in form of a system-on-a-chip by using hardware/software
co-design techniques. A prototyping board with the open source LEON
processor (http://www.gaisler.com) will serve as SOC platform. uCLinux
(http://www.uclinux.org) shall be used as embedded operating system. After
an analysis of the performance requirements of the decoder, the system
shall be partitioned appropriately and implemented as hardware/software
co-design."

As we will make use of your sotware (libvorbis+ogg123)  then may I ask you
all for your comment toward the project. Do you have any recommendations?

Now we are in the feasibility study phase. My first task is to profile the
ogg123+libvorbis to see if any part of the software could be done in the
hardware. I used gprof and found that the computational intensive part
starts from mapping0_inverse() and its children (mdct*(), res2_inverse(),
and codebook.c) so I just thought this might be a part that we could
implement it in hardware (if possible). Do you have any comment? Are we on
the right track?

Thank you very much,
Pattara
