Philips Electronics 

Foreword

The TriMedia™ TM-1300 is a higher speed, functionally

enhanced version of the TM-1000 media processor.

TM-1300 contains an ultra-high performance Very Long

Instruction Word processor, as well as a complete intelli-

gent video and audio input/output subsystem. The pro-

cessor has an instruction set that is optimized for pro-

cessing audio, video and graphics. It includes powerful

SIMD multimedia operators for eight- and 16-bit signal

datatypes as well as a full complement of 32-bit IEEE

compatible floating point operations.

TM-1300 is intended as a multi-standard programmable

video, audio and graphics processor. It can either be

used standalone, or as an accelerator to a general pur-

pose processor.

The architecture of the TriMedia family came about as

the result of many years of effort of many dedicated indi-

viduals. Going back in history, the origin of TriMedia was

laid by the LIFE-1 VLIW processor, designed by Junien

Labrousse and myself in 1987. Work continued after-

wards in Philips Research Labs, Palo Alto. My special

thanks go to the entire Palo Alto research team: Mike

Ang, Uzi Bar-Gadda, Peter Donovan, Martin Freeman,

Eino Jacobs, Beomsup Kim, Bob Law, Yen Lee, Vijay

Mehra, Pieter van der Meulen, Ross Morley, Mariette

Parekh, Bill Sommer, Artur Sorkin and Pierre Uszynski.

The Palo Alto period matured the architecture—we port-

ed all video and audio algorithms that we could find to the

compiler/simulator and refined the operation set. In addi-

tion, we learned how to give the architecture a market di-

rection. In May 1994, Philips management—in particular

Cees-Jan Koomen, Eddy Odijk, Theo Claasen and Doug

Dunn—decided to develop TriMedia into a major Philips

Semiconductors product line.

Under the guidance of Keith Flagler, the TriMedia team

was built. All of them contributed to take this from a set

of interesting ideas to a reliable and competitive product

in a short period of time. The initial TriMedia team includ-

Expert help and feedback was received from many. In

particular, I’d like to mention Kees van Zon of Philips

Eindhoven for the help with filtering-related issues, and

Craig Clapp of PictureTel for excellent feedback on all

aspects of the architecture.

My special thanks go to Joe Kostelec. He made me un-

derstand that my ambitions could better be realized in

California than in Europe. Furthermore, his vision and his

wisdom are credited with keeping this project alive and

growing until the ‘investment decision.’

The vision of a universal media accelerator is credited to

Jaap de Hoog. Jaap, I wish you were here to see it come

to fruition.
