Conference Title: 2018 15th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD) Conference Start Date: 2018, March 19 Conference End Date: 2018, March 22 Conference Location: Yassmine Hammamet, Tunisia In this paper, we perform an implementation of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) decoder on ARM processor. The complexity of HM10.0 reference software decoder has been profiled, using GNU gprof under the embedded Linux. In order to give indication of the most complex modules, numerous sequences were tested, for different resolutions and with two different Quantization Parameter (QP) values. This paper reveals the bottlenecks of HM decoder and provides implementation guidelines for future real-time HEVC decoder.
