—Code smells are poor implementation choices, thought to make object-oriented systems hard to maintain. In this study, we investigate if classes with code smells are more change-...
—In this paper, we address the key problem in real-time video coding, the rate-distortion (R-D) tradeoff. As most video coding applications employ color images, we analyze the R-...
This paper presents a new approach to enforcing array bounds and pointer checking in the C language. Checking is rigorous in the sense that the result of pointer arithmetic must r...
Delayed branching is a technique to alleviate branch hazards without expensive hardware branch prediction mechanisms. For VLIW processors with deep pipelines and many issue slots,...
Embedded systems are constrained by the available memory. Code-compression techniques address this issue by reducing the code size of application programs. It is a major challenge ...
