Lossless Image Compression, Hardware Architecture, Memory Bandwidth Reduction

Abstract

In a computing environment, higher resolutions generally require more memory bandwidth, which inevitably leads to the consumption more power. This may become critical for the overall performance of mobile devices and graphic processor units with increased amounts of memory access and memory bandwidth. This paper proposes a lossless compression algorithm with a multiple differential pulse-code modulation variable sign code Golomb-Rice to reduce the memory bandwidth requirement. The efficiency of the proposed multiple differential pulse-code modulation is enhanced by selecting the optimal differential pulse code modulation mode. The experimental results show compression ratio of 1.99 for high-efficiency video coding image sequences and that the proposed lossless compression hardware can reduce the bus bandwidth requirement.
