Multimedia and Graphics Seminar
(Wednesday January 24, 1996 12:30-2:00 PDT 405 Soda Hall)
"Architecture of the Mpact Media Processor"
Chromatic's Mpact media engine reaches a new level of multimedia integration
for personal computers by leveraging architctural advances in VLIW, SIMD and
vector processing and a high bandwidth Rambus memory system. The Mpact
media engine consists of a media processor and mediaware software modules.
The Mpact mediaware modules support all seven multimedia functions:
- 2D graphics
- 3D gaming
- Video compression and decompression
- Audio synthesis and compression
- Telephony
- FAX/modem
- Videophone and videoconferencing
Mpact will be the first (and perhaps the only) VLIW-based chip to appear on
several million PC motherboards in 1996.
Chromatic Research was founded two years ago to redefine the personal
computer through affordable silicon technology and state of the art
algorithms in 3D graphics, motion video, audio and communications.
