This paper describes a novel memory hierarchy and line-pixel-lookahead (LPL) for an H.264/AVC video decoder. The memory system is the bottleneck of most video processors, particula...
Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) memory systems suffer from the effects of destructive thread interference. This interference reduces performance predictability because it depends heavil...
The complexity of today’s embedded applications requires modern high-performance embedded System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms to be multiprocessor architectures. Advances in FPGA tec...
Feedback-directed Optimization has become an increasingly important tool in designing and building optimizing compilers as itprovides a means to analyze complexprogram behavior th...
Language run-time systems are often called upon to safely execute mutually distrustful tasks within the same runtime, protecting them from other tasks’ bugs or otherwise hostile...
