New to the Second Edition: offers the latest developments in standards activities (JPEG-LS,
MPEG-4, MPEG-7, and H. 263) provides a comprehensive review of recent activities on …

In large-scale and high-speed systems, global synchronization has been commonly used to
protect clocked I/O from data read failure caused by metastability. There are many …

The SIA Roadmap shows a very aggressive drive to deep submicron designs. A significant
corner stone in the industries' ability to utilize this tremendous capabilities is the usage of …

Multimedia processing is becoming increasingly important with a wide variety of applications
ranging from multimedia cellphones to high-definition interactive television. Media …

This paper describes circuits used to implement the motion video instructions (MVI) in the
550-MHz Alpha 21 164PC Microprocessor. The chip is fabricated in a 0.35-/spl mu/m CMOS …

New methods for detecting bridging faults in dynamic CMOS circuits are proposed. We show
that resistive shorts in CMOS dynamic circuits can cause intermittent failures and reliability …

The internal architecture of a 2000 MIPS/1000 MFLOPS (peak) high performance low cost
CMOS Alpha microprocessor chip is described. This implementation is derived from the …

We describe the methodology used for the design of a set of CMOS support chips used in
the IBM S/390® Parallel Enterprise Server Generations 3 and 4. The logic design is based …

General purpose microprocessors have long been considered a computing platform
unsuited to image processing and vision tasks. The so-called Von-Neumann paradigm and …

We have designed a microprocessor that is based on a single instruction multiple data
stream (SIMD) architecture. It features a two-way superscalar architecture for multimedia …
