Block-matching motion estimation plays an important role in video coding and faster, more robust and more effective search algorithms are needed. Recently, a great number of fast ...
Most of the prediction mechanisms predict a single path to continue the execution on a branch. Alternatively, we may exploit parallelism from either possible paths of a branch, di...
Accurate branch prediction is essential for obtaining high performance in pipelined superscalar processors that execute instructions speculatively. Some of the best current predic...
A matrix formulation for an adaptive genetic algorithm is developed using mutation matrix and crossover matrix. Selection, mutation, and crossover are all parameter-free in the se...
Recent studies [13, 18] have shown that clearing schemes are efficient multi-modal optimization methods. They efficiently reduce genetic drift which is the direct reason for prema...
