Branch prediction mechanisms are becoming commonplace within current generation processors. Dynamic branch predictors, albeit able to predict branches quite accurately in average,...
The effects of variations in the workload input when estimating error detection coverage using fault injection are investigated. Results from scanchain implemented fault injection ...
Literature shows that over the years numerous techniques for estimating development effort have been suggested, derived from late project measures. However, to the successful mana...
Recently, processor power density has been increasing at an alarming rate resulting in high on-chip temperature. Higher temperature increases current leakage and causes poor relia...
H.264/AVC is the latest video coding standard adopting variable block size motion estimation (VBS-ME), quarter-pixel accuracy, motion vector prediction and multi-reference frames f...
