Scalable video coding (SVC) employs inter-frame prediction at the base and/or the enhancement layers. Since the base layer can be encoded/decoded independent of the enhancement la...
Software used in embedded systems is subject to strict timing and space constraints. The growing software complexity creates an urgent need for fast program execution under the co...
Bounding the Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) of programs is essential for real-time systems. To be able to do WCET calculations, the iteration bounds for loops and recursion must...
Data parallel compilers have long aimed to equal the performance of carefully hand-optimized parallel codes. For tightly-coupled applications based on line sweeps, this goal has b...
