The objective of this paper is to introduce self-similarity as a fundamental property exhibited by the bursty trafsic between on-chip modules in typical MPEG-2 video applications. Statistical tests performed on relevant traces extracted ji-om common video clips establish unequivocally the existence of self-similarity in video trafsic. Using a generic communication architecture, we also discuss the implications of our findings on on-chip bufSeer space allocation and present quantitative evaluations for typical video streams. We believe that our findings open up new directions of research with deep implications on some fundamental issues in on-chip network design for multimedia applications.
In REF , this same concern is demonstrated in the context of on-chip network design for multimedia applications.
