This paper presents NOVA, the first fully integrated neural video system-on-chip (SoC) for end-to-end decoding processing-encoding on a single chip. A bound-guided mixed quantization (BMQ) and bound-guided unified (BU) core achieves 41.7% computation power reduction. A temporal interpolation unit (TIU) with tiered direct memory access (DMA) reduces system energy by 71.8%. An adaptive entropy coding unit (AECU) reduces coding latency by 79.2%. NOVA is fabricated in 28nm CMOS technology and achieves 31.4 TOPS/W energy efficiency on 4K UVG benchmark.
