We analyze the technique for reducing the complexity of entropy coding consisting in the a priori grouping of the source alphabet symbols, and in dividing the coding process in tw...
1 - This paper presents an efficient design exploration environment for high-end core processors. The heart of the proposed design exploration framework is a two-level simulation e...
NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability) has emerged as the dominant failure mechanism for PMOS in nanometer IC designs. However, its impact on one of the most important compo...
