Abstract
Programs for embedded multimedia applications typically manipulate several large multi-dimensional arrays. The energy consumption
per access increases with their size; the access to these large arrays is responsible for a substantial part of the power
consumption. In this paper, an analysis is developed to compute a bounding box for the elements in the array that are simultaneously
in use. The size of the original array can be reduced to the size of the bounding box and accesses to it can be redirected
using modulo operations on the original indices. This substantially reduces the size of the memories and the power consumption
of accessing them.
