Advances in semiconductor technologies have placed MPSoCs center stage as a standard architecture for embedded applications of ever increasing complexity. Efficient utilization of...
Operand gating is a technique for improving processor energy efficiency by gating off sections of the data path that are unneeded by short-precision (narrow) operands. A method fo...
Early energy estimation is increasingly important in MultiProcessor System-On-Chip (MPSoC) design. Applying traditional approaches, which consist in delaying the estimation until t...
The development of turbo codes has allowed for nearShannon limit information transfer in modern communication systems. Although turbo decoding is viewed as superior to alternate d...
Through legislation and technology the film industry has been seeking to fully control usage of the bits it creates; their model is "restrictive" digital-rights manageme...
