In designing digital cameras and other consumer devices incorporating camera functionality, with ever improving performance, memory and power often prove to be the major constraints. Consumers expect ...

Abstract: A practical turbo decoder is usually implemented with a serial decoding architecture for low complexity, where the extrinsic information symbols are stored in the so-called interleaver ...

It is shown that Viterbi decoders using this storage-efficient path memory unit require a smaller chip area and achieve a faster decoding time without loss of decoding performance. A Viterbi decoder ...

The Viterbi algorithm is renowned as a maximum likelihood (ML) decoding technique for convolutional codes. The path memory unit in an (n,k,m) Viterbi Decoder is responsible for keeping track of the ...

For example, in memory applications, such as DRAM or SRAM, you may prefer hard decoding for its speed and simplicity. You want to minimize the latency and complexity of accessing and storing data ...

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the upcoming Amlogic S905M quad core Cortex A53 processor support 4K VP9 and 10-bit HEVC, but the silicon manufacturer seems to struggle with sticking with a name, as ...
