— Video encoding to yield a decoder-friendly H.264 bit stream that consumes less decoding power yet with little coding efficiency degradation is investigated in this work. The e...
Loops are an important source of optimization. In this paper, we propose an extension to our work on loop unrolling and loop shifting for reconfigurable architectures. By applying...
As microprocessor speeds increase, memory bandwidth is increasing y the performance bottleneck for microprocessors. This has occurred because innovation and technological improvem...
As a culture, object-orientation encourages programmers to create objects, both short- and long-lived, without concern for cost. Excessive object creation and initialization can ca...
This paper describes an approach to automatically learn planning operators by observing expert solution traces and to further refine the operators through practice in a learning-b...
