Abstract: An encoding method is used for encoding an image. The image includes a plurality of blocks each having a plurality of pixels. The encoding method includes: encoding a plurality of data partitions of block data of a block in the image to generate a plurality of compressed bitstream segments, respectively; and combining the compressed bitstream segments to generate an output bitstream of the block. A bit group based interleaving process is involved in generating the output bitstream. According to the bit group based interleaving process, each of the compressed bitstream segments is divided into a plurality of bit groups each having at least one bit, and the output bitstream includes consecutive bit groups belonging to different compressed bitstream segments, respectively.

Abstract: A power source analysis method includes receiving a target number, performing voltage drop analysis on a plurality of power sources in a power delivery network (PDN) to determine respective supply currents of the power sources, sorting the supply currents of the power sources, and selecting a plurality of target power sources from the power sources according to a sorted result. The total number of the selected target power sources equals the target number.

Abstract: A method of yield prejudgment and bump re-assignment for a die is provided. The die includes a plurality of areas. Each area is electrically connected to a substrate through a corresponding bump. The successful-connection probability of each area is prejudged. The die is divided into a signal region and a short-circuit region according to the successful-connection probabilities. The positions of the bumps are arranged so that signal bumps are disposed in the signal region and power bumps are disposed in the short region.
