Implementation of a H.264 decoder with Template-based Communication Refinement

We described an H.264 decoder implemented with our design methodology, in which a system function model of transaction level is first captured in SystemC and refined into RTL with a library of communication templates. We determined its communication architecture by exploring the design space with template-based communication refinement to meet its requirement of decoding VGA 30 frames per second at a clock frequency of 50MHz.
