  • Systems and Methods with Early Variance Measure Used to Optimize Video Encoding
    Publication number: 20170034512
    Abstract: Methods and systems for video encoding, using a variance measure to directly effect efficiencies and optimizations at various stages of video encoding to improve compute cycle, power, heat and bandwidth efficiency and decoded picture quality and decrease the bit length of encoded frames. Download rate and decoding efficiency are also improved as a result of the improvements realized at the encoder.
    Type: Application

  • Method for transferring a stream of at least one data packet between first and second electric devices and corresponding device
    Publication number: 20090129390
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transferring a stream of at least one data packet between a first electronic device and second electronic device through a network-on-chip are disclosed. These systems and methods can comprise storing data packets in memory means provided in a network interface and transferring data packets from the memory means to the second electronic device. Packets can be transferred from the memory means after a quantity of packets is stored in the memory means, the quantity of packets being determined according to a value of a control parameter.
