多媒体系统从应用和系统设计两方面都取得了很大的进展。设计人员有更多的资源可以使用——更多的晶体管，更好的、几乎完全自动化的工具来放置和布线这些晶体管，以及系统中更多的内存。然而，仍然存在一些关键的挑战。随着晶体管数量的增加，人们开始担心功率的增加。虽然后端（从详细的系统描述合成芯片）的工具几乎是完全自动化的，但设计过程的前端（开发系统的详细规范）仍然主要是手动的，导致设计时间和错误的增加。本章从应用和多媒体系统设计两个方面对多媒体系统的发展趋势进行了深入的探讨。本章还提出了有待解决的主要挑战。最后，本章还介绍了本书中使用的总体设计流程。
A lot of progress has been made in multimedia systems from both applications and system-design perspective. The designers have a lot more resources at their disposal – more transistors to play with, better and almost completely automated tools to place and route these transistors, and much more memory in the system. However, a number of key challenges exist. With increasing number of transistors has come increased power to worry about. While the tools for the back-end (synthesizing a chip from the detailed system description) are almost completely automated, the front-end (developing a detailed specification of the system) of the design-process is still largely manual, leading to increased design time and error.This chapter takes a closer look at the trends in multimedia systems from both sides – the applications perspective and at the multimedia system design. The key challenges that remain to be solved are also presented in this chapter. Lastly, the overall design flow that is used in the book is presented in this chapter as well.
