The performance evaluation of video transport mechanisms becomes increasingly important
as encoded video accounts for growing portions of the network traffic. Compared to the …

Memory resources are a serious bottleneck in many real-time multicore systems. Previous
work has shown that, in the worst case, execution time of memory intensive tasks can grow …

An important question is whether emerging and future applications exhibit sufficient
parallelism, in particular thread-level parallelism, to exploit the large numbers of cores future …

Multicore architecture brings a significant challenge in designing critical real-time systems
because of timing variability caused by concurrent accesses to shared memory. We propose …

Real-time embedded systems are increasingly being built using commercial-off-the-shelf
(COTS) components such as mass-produced peripherals and buses to reduce costs, time-to …

In previous work the 3D-Wave parallelization strategy was proposed to increase the parallel
scalability of H. 264 video decoding. This strategy is based on the observation that inter …

Mobile computing as exemplified by the smart phone has become an integral part of our
daily lives. The next generation of these devices will be driven by providing an even richer …

This paper investigates the scalability of MacroBlock (MB) level parallelization of the H. 264
decoder for High Definition (HD) applications. The study includes three parts. First, a formal …

Video coding follows the trend of demanding higher performance every new generation, and
therefore could utilize many-cores. A complete parallelization of H. 264, which is the most …

An important question is whether emerging and future applications exhibit sufficient
parallelism, in particular thread-level parallelism (TLP), to exploit the large numbers of cores …
