—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
In high-level synthesis, pipelined designs are often restricted by the number of memory banks available to the synthesis system. Using multiple memory banks can improve the perfor...
We propose an automated routine for hierarchical menu structure optimization. A computer advice-giving system founded on the mathematical model of menu navigation directs the desi...
Multistage residual vector quantizers (RVQ) with optimal direct sum decoder codebooks have been successfully designed and implemented for data compression. Due to its multistage s...
Large databases with uncertain information are becoming more common in many applications including data integration, location tracking, and Web search. In these applications, ranki...
