This study reports on integrating ESP (English for specific purposes) multimedia courseware for semiconductor technology into instruction of three different language programs in higher education by using it as a silent partner. It focuses primarily on techniques and tools to motivate retention of under-prepared students in an EFL setting. The courseware design was based on Mayer’s multimedia le...

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and multimedia workloads are expected to be the dominant workloads on future computer systems. This is true in both low cost embedded applications that use specialized microprocessors like DSPs and in the generalpurpose processor market. Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architectures have multiple functional units to take advantage of vastly available Instructio...

Many microprocessor instruction sets include instructions for accelerating multimedia applications such as DVD playback, speech recognition and 3-D graphics. Despite general agreement on the need to support this emerging workload, there are considerable differences between the instruction sets that have been designed to do so. In this paper we study the performance of five instruction sets on k...
