Methodology and Technique to Improve Throughput of FPGA-based CAL Dataflow Programs: Case Study of the RVC MPEG-4 SP Intra Decoder

Marco Mattavelli, Christophe Lucarz, Ihab Mostafa Amin Mohamed Amer, Ab Al Hadi Bin Ab Rahman, Hossam Amer

The specification of complex signal processing systems in hardware by means of HDL is no longer the appropriate way since they are known to be time consuming to design, and less flexible to extend features. Recently, \CAL dataflow language was specified to ...

A policy insight into the R&D-patent relationship

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

Contrary to an accepted wisdom, this paper shows that cross-country variations in the number of patents per researcher do not only reflect differences in the propensity to patent but also signals differences in research productivity. We put forward and tes ...
