It has been widely recognized that the dynamic range information of an application can be exploited to reduce the datapath bitwidth of either processors or ASICs, and therefore th...
Very large irregular-grid data sets are represented as tetrahedral meshes and may incur significant disk I/O access overhead in the rendering process. An effective way to allevia...
Abstract--Multimedia and DSP applications have several computationally intensive kernels which are often offloaded and accelerated by application-specific hardware. This paper pres...
