—The 2D Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is a time-consuming kernel in many multimedia applications such as JPEG2000 and MPEG-4. The 2D DWT consists of horizontal filtering alon...
Data prefetching, where data is fetched before CPU demands for it, has been considered as an effective solution to mask data access latency. However, the current client-initiated ...
