A characteristic rate function parameterized by a specified quantization parameter can be approximately a linear function of macroblock (MB) activity. During encoding, Kalman filter simultaneously refines the slopes of R-Q characteristic line to trace the change of R-Q relation between two successive clustered MBs (COBS), and the quantization parameters of MBs located in the same COB can be determined based on the latest refined R-Q model. For satisfying real-time demands, the proposed scheme employs a fast method of progressive MB mergence to determine the range of a COB. In the experiments, our framework can obtain higher objective and perceptual qualities over TMNB module.

The pull-up charging and pull-down discharging of the transistor arrays of the PLA are accelerated by inserting two feedback MOS transistors between the evaluation NMOS blocks and the outputs. The addition of two 8-bit binary numbers is executed in 2 cycles. The proposed power-aware pipelining design methodology using a simple data transition detection circuit takes advantage of shutting down the processing stages with identical inputs in two consecutive operations. Not only is it proved to be also suitable for long adders, the dynamic power consumption is drastically reduced by more than 50% at every process corner.","PeriodicalId":426683,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems, 2004.

The proposed architecture makes use of a globally asynchronous communication network and a locally synchronous bus. Firstly, a local bus is given for a group of cores so that all communications within this local bus are exclusive in time. In order to represent the ratio of communications of this local bus, an user has to provide a communication ratio (CR) of each pair of local bus groups. After that, the two local buses with the highest CR are grouped to be the first switching point for the globally asynchronous network. Then, one can regard the two groups using a switching point as a new group. The new CR hence can be determined from the new and each other local bus group. Similar process is performed to form the next switching point. Finally, a binary tree (BT) is built by setting each internal tree node a switching point while each leaf a local bus. In addition, the switching circuit cost can be decreased while the performance is increased. The simulation results show that the proposed architecture of NOC is better than the general purposed SPIN architecture.","PeriodicalId":426683,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems, 2004.
