Abstract:As multicore processors have become a general in computer architecture, parallel algorithms and software designs based on thread-level parallelization are rapidly gaining importance in compute-intensive applications. However, it is difficult to exploit thread-level parallelism for multimedia applications like video encoders due to complicated data/control dependences. In particular, the H.264 encoder has data dependences between the inter mode decision and the intra mode decision, especially when rate-distorti… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
