Abstract: Disclosed are a method of encoding a division block in video encoding and a method of decoding a division block in video decoding. An input picture is divided into encoding unit blocks. The encoding unit blocks are divided into sub-blocks. The sub-blocks are encoded by selectively using at least one of intra prediction encoding and inter prediction encoding. A decoding process is performed through a reverse process of the encoding method. When pixel values of an encoding unit block are encoded in video encoding, the flexibility in selecting an encoding mode is increased and the efficiency of encoding is increased.

Abstract: A multi-port memory device includes ports, banks, a global data bus, an input/output (I/O) controller, mode register set (MRS), a clock generator, and a test I/O controller. The I/O controller transmits a test signal to the global data bus in response to a mode register enable signal. The MRS generates a test enable signal in response to the mode register enable signal and outputs a mode selection signal which determines a data transmission mode of a test I/O signal in response to the test signal. The clock generator receives an external clock and generates an internal clock based on the external clock in response to the mode selection signal. The test I/O controller inputs/outputs the test I/O signal in synchronism with the internal clock. The mode register enable signal active during a test operation mode for testing a core area of the banks.
