Every modern ARM SoC built for thisnpuepose has H.264 hardware video decode (and typically HEVC for that matter).

I have not tried it myself but both Altera and Xilinx can compile opencl for their FPGAs nowadays

On Swedish versions of Word find is moved to Ctrl+b since the word for bold starts with an f. Can get very annoying when mixing versions.

Chalmers univeristy has a HDL built as Haskell modules called Lava: http://www.cse.chalmers.se/edu/year/2012/course/_courses_201... Don't think its used outside of the university though.

HW decoders will not send the deblocking barrier to external memory (typically). Instead you will buffer the required rows until you have decoded the next line of macroblocks. As long as the filter margin are the same this will work fine in

Its hard problem making something unique enough to avoid current patents while still being a nice fit for a haäw pipeline. Things like överlappning transforms may end up creating new minimum values for the vertical context needed. New itu&#

Verilog is more commonly used especially in the ASIC industry. VHDL is disappearing in Europe as well were it used to have some foothold. That said most chip developers are very conservative only using a subset of already limited languages

I believe its more of the same. For developers that have to support all the simulation flows the largest benefit is to use something that compiles everywhere.

This is quite dated from a modern chip development perspective. If you are interested in learning more of where the industry is today on functional verification look at things like SystemVerilog and Contrained random verification. Things ar

Most companies in Europe will do this (although with 5+ weeks). They tend to be mostly competitive. It is a bit hard to understand why US tech workers put up with not having this.

The nice thing with this isn't so much the quick reading but rather that it is well suited for gear and other smart watches (glass as well?). This makes it a lot more feasible to read for example mails on small screens.

In this case it is likely mostly about this being Qualcomms first version of the gles 3 driver and updating a driver for a mobile phone isn't as straight forwards as updatung mesa. It is likely to get better.

The problem is that there is less communication because people afraid to disturb their neighbours. Of the 3 variations I have tries (single office, 2-3 people in a room, 8+ in the same room) I have found 2-3 people in a room is the best. Yo
