Specifically, it offers an equal or better Gflops per Watt ratio than GPUs, has substantially higher raw floating point capability than embedded processors, contains a substantial set of on-chip high-speed communication interfaces, and is capable of hosting its own operating system. In this talk we describe our evaluation of the C66 with respect to its ability to perform real-time computer vision tasks on high resolution data. For this purpose we developed a hand-tuned Lucas-Kanade optical flow kernel and used it to perform object detection and tracking on HD video. Our kernel achieves a higher overall throughput than previous efforts and can be integrated into a power efficient video capture and display system. We also describe the design of this system and its end-to-end performance. SUMMARY: PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
