Available power saving strategies such as dynamic power level control and discontinuous transmission are limited in their scope. A more effective approach is to operate the processors at the lowest supply voltage without incurring reduction in the throughput. Parallel architecture utilizing pipelining and parallelism through hardware duplication can be used to maintain throughput at lower voltages, by allowing slower device speeds. In the paper, several parallel/pipelined implementations of a VSELP speech coder employing VSELP algorithm modifications are suggested and are assessed for the power saving-voice quality trade-off.","PeriodicalId":341055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Southcon '95","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126026532","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 is a subtle shift in orientation that significantly enhances the value of hypermedia technology as a delivery mechanism and it has contributed to the tremendous growth of hypermedia systems. They have come almost full circle from conceptual frameworks for global information, to narrowly focused proprietary application engines, to widely available general purpose tools. In fact, several systems come very close to what early researchers envisioned as grand schemes for universal authoring, exchange and discovery of information. This paper outlines key concepts of a distributed hypermedia based system and identifies open issues for deploying and utilizing these systems.","PeriodicalId":341055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Southcon '95","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130239417","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}
