This paper proposes a new architecture for efficient variable-length decoding (VLD) of entropy-coded data for multimedia applications on general-purpose processors. It improves o...
Wide Single Instruction, Multiple Thread (SIMT) architectures often require a static allocation of thread groups that are executed in lockstep throughout the entire application ker...
Even after carefully tuning the memory characteristics to the application properties and the processor speed, during the execution of real applications there are times when the pr...
