— Many image compression techniques require the quantization of multiple vector sources with significantly different distributions. With vector quantization (VQ), these sources ...
After an outline of the history of evolutionary algorithms, a new ( ) variant of the evolution strategies is introduced formally. Though not comprising all degrees of freedom, it i...
A novel algorithm is described for coding objects in video compression systems which gives complete control over the bit allocation to the video objects. The method is evaluated b...
The goal of this work is to explore architectural mechanisms for supporting explicit communication in cachecoherent shared memory multiprocessors. The motivation stems from the ob...
We study the problem of sorting on a parallel computer with limited communication bandwidth. By using the PRAM(m) model, where p processors communicate through a globally shared me...
