Abstract: Embodiments provide for interactive routing transistor devices of an integrated circuit (IC) design using an interactive routing tool. An example method includes receiving an integrated circuit (IC) design comprising a plurality of transistor devices. The example method further includes receiving a design rule check (DRC) rules set. The example method further includes, responsive to identifying, based at least in part on the DRC rules set, that a first connection input associated with a transistor device of the plurality of transistor devices creates a design rule violation, determining whether a force mode input has been received. The example method further includes, responsive to determining that the force mode input has been received, enabling routing of the first connection input.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a compute device includes interface circuitry and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry receives, via the interface circuitry, a current frame of a video stream to be encoded. The processing circuitry then determines whether a scene change occurs at the current frame. If a scene change occurs at the current frame, the processing circuitry detects the scene in the current frame by performing pixel segmentation on the current frame. If a scene change does not occur at the current frame, the processing circuitry detects the scene in the current frame by performing motion estimation on the current frame relative to a previous frame in which the scene was detected. Based on the scene detected in the current frame, the processing circuitry then generates one or more encoding parameters and provides those parameters to a video encoder to encode the current frame.

Abstract: Techniques for region-of-interest video encoding are disclosed. A compute node can determine a weighted average noise parameter for an encoded frame with a region of interest by weighting noise in the region of interest differently from noise outside the region of interest. Such a weighted average noise parameter can be used to encode subsequent frames of the video to improve the overall quality of the encoding. Other applications of the weighted average noise parameter are disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques for memory-efficient video encoding and decoding are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a video encoder of a compute node uses a lossy compression algorithm to store a reference image of a video stream. The lossily compressed reference frame is then used to encode subsequent image of a video stream. When the corresponding decoder receives the reference image, it applies the same lossy compression algorithm to store the reference image. The lossily compressed reference frame is then used to decode subsequent images. Drift between the encoder and decoder caused by compression of the reference frame can be avoided by using the same lossy compression algorithm at both the video encoder and the video decoder.
