Abstract—H.264/AVC is the latest video coding standard. It significantly outperforms the previous video coding standards, but the extraordinary huge computation complexity and m...
There is a continuous research effort devoted to overcome the memory wall problem. Prefetching is one of the most frequently used techniques. A prefetch mechanism anticipates the ...
Cache hierarchies have been traditionally designed for usage by a single application, thread or core. As multi-threaded (MT) and multi-core (CMP) platform architectures emerge and...
The emergence of multicore architectures and highly scalable platforms motivates the development of novel algorithms and techniques that emphasize concurrency and are tolerant of ...
Recently, multi-core architectures with alternative memory subsystem designs have emerged. Instead of using hardwaremanaged cache hierarchies, they employ software-managed embedde...
