This paper describes a sub-mW motion estimation processor core for MPEG-4 video encoding. It features a Gradient Descent Search algorithm whose computation power is only 7% of the...
In this paper, we propose time-based localization approaches for asynchronous wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where not only clock skews but also clock offsets are present at all...
With the advent of Networks-on-Chip (NoCs), the interest for mesochronous synchronizers is again on the rise due to the intricacies of skew-controlled chip-wide clock tree distrib...
Abstract. Clocks are a mechanism for providing synchronization barriers in concurrent programming languages. They are usually implemented using primitive communication mechanisms a...
Locking and timestamping are two popular approaches to concurrency control in databases systems. Although more than a dozen analytic performance studies of locking techniques have...
