— This paper investigates in detail the blocking and nonblocking behavior of multirate Clos switching networks at the connection/virtual connection level. The results are applica...
Perceptual audio coders use an estimated masked threshold for the determination of the maximum permissible just-inaudible noise level introduced by quantization. This estimate is d...
Abstract--The emerging video coding standard MPEG-4 enables various content-based functionalities for multimedia applications. To support such functionalities, as well as to improv...
-- We characterize the best achievable performance of lossy compression algorithms operating on arbitrary random sources, and with respect to general distortion measures. Direct an...
Although it is increasingly difficult for large scientific programs to attain a significant fraction of peak performance on systems based on microprocessors with substantial instr...
