—This paper describes a low cost, low power, versatile computation module that can be used as a coarse-grain building block in multimedia processors. The module, which has a data...
Abstract. Multimedia and network processing applications make extensive use of subword data. Since registers are capable of holding a full data word, when a subword variable is ass...
The floating-point multiply-add fused (MAF) unit sets a new trend in the processor design to speed up floatingpoint performance in scientific and multimedia applications. This ...
Multimedia and communication algorithms from embedded system domain often make extensive use of floating-point arithmetic. Due to the complexity and expense of the floating-poin...
