There have been a number of papers describing various ways of speeding up this algorithm. One of the performance bottlenecks of CORDIC is the requirement to multiply the results of the x and y data path by a constant scaling factor. Depending on the architecture, such solutions might not necessarily provide added benefits. In this paper, processing of the scaling factor is applied in a distributed way in order to achieve maximum efficiency for both pipelined and recursive architectures.","PeriodicalId":131387,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International IEEE-NEWCAS Conference, 2005.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122583904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CABAC is also bit serial and its multi-bit parallelization is extremely difficult. For a high definition video encoder, multi-giga hertz RISC processors will be needed to implement the CABAC encoder. In this paper, the authors provided efficient solutions for the arithmetic coder and the renormalizer.

Two important properties of this type of representation are high redundancy and sparseness, which are key in eliminating carry propagation in basic arithmetic operations. High redundancy poses challenges in determining the canonical double base number representation (CDBNR) of an algebraic value. An exhaustive search for this representation can be computationally intensive, even for relatively small values. The greedy algorithm is very fast and simple to implement, but only allows for a single near canonical double base number representation (NCDBNR). The multipath greedy (MG) algorithm discussed in this paper is much faster than exhaustive search and gives better performance since it dramatically increases the likelihood of finding canonical representations. Since multiple starting points are used, this algorithm is able to find more than one NCDBNR in a single run.","PeriodicalId":131387,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International IEEE-NEWCAS Conference, 2005.","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124544993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article proposes an alternative to CAM technology based on a parallel hashing architecture. Simulations show that CAM performances can be matched and even surpassed while reducing cost and power consumption.
