A method is presented for modeling application performance on parallel computers in terms of the performance of microkernels from the HPC Challenge benchmarks. Specifically, the a...
Multiview video coding (MVC) is currently being standardized by the Joint Video Team as an extension of H264/AVC. When an MVC bitstream is decoded, some views (named target views)...
