The Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) of a programmable processor is the native languageof the machine. It defines the set of operations and resourcesthat are optimized for that ...
Wavelet transform based image coding algorithms have the two inherent scalable features of SNR scalability and spatial (or resolution) scalability. However, fine scalability is sup...
Multimedia transmissions over heterogeneous networks require a high degree of flexibility from video compression systems. They are expected to be fully scalable, that is to say to...
The recent improvements in workstation and interconnection network performance have popularized the clusters of off-the-shelf workstations. However, the usefulness of these cluste...
Processor speed and available computing power constantly increases, enabling computation of more and more complex problems such as numerical simulations of physical processes. In t...
