Due to the increased speed in modern designs, testing for delay faults has become an important issue in the postproduction test of manufactured chips. A high fault coverage is nee...
This paper presents a fast algorithm for H.264 fractional motion estimation (ME). In H.264 ME is the most time consuming component. The ME process consists of two stages: integer ...
—Despite the range of applications and successes of evolutionary algorithms, expensive fitness computations often form a critical performance bottleneck. A preferred method of r...
High associativity is important for level-two cache designs [9]. Implementing CAM-based Highly Associative Caches (CAM-HAC), however, is both costly in hardware and exhibits poor s...
Continued advancements in fabrication technology and reductions in feature size create challenges in maintaining both manufacturing yield rates and long-term reliability of device...
