A hardware-oriented method for evaluating complex polynomials by solving iteratively a system of linear equations is proposed. Its implementation uses a digit-serial iterations on...
Existing SIMD extensions cannot efficiently vectorize the histogram function due to memory collisions. We propose two techniques to avoid this problem. In the first, a hierarchi...

Though all of the current main-stream OSs have supported superpage to some extent, most of them need runtime information provided by applications, simulator or other tools. Transp...
Financial and commercial applications use decimal data and spend most of their time in decimal arithmetic. Software implementation of decimal arithmetic is typically at least 100 ...
Currently, television sets with flat plasma and LCD screens with improved resolutions and better color quality are emerging. To fully utilize their capabilities, lower resolution...
