Intel demoed game streaming with hardware-accelerated AV1 video codec that its new ARC graphics chips offer for both encoding and decoding action for the first time on a desktop or laptop GPU. For now, AMD and Nvidia GPUs dont offer native AV1 encoding support, while Intel clearly demonstrates its superiority over the HEVC codec in an Elden Ring game stream demo.

A new study led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has found that a group of neurons in the brains striatum encodes information about the potential outcomes of different decisions.

Last month, sources told Protocol that an upcoming Snapdragon mobile processor would be Qualcomm's first chip to support AV1 decoding natively. The chip, internally codenamed SM8550, is...

(File photo) MANILA - The Quezon City government hired 350 additional contact tracers to better fight the Covid-19 surge, Mayor Joy Belmonte said on Thursday. Belmonte said the contact tracers, who were part of the Department of the Interior and Local Government's (DILG) contact tracing program, will be employed under the emergency employment program of the city's Public Emergency and Services Office (PESO). "The additional contact tracers were already part of our contact tracing ar...

NewHope Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) has been presented at USENIX 2016 by Alkim et al. and was one of the lattice-based candidates to the post-quantum standardization initiated by the NIST. However, despite the relative simplicity of the protocol, the bound on the decapsulation failure probability resulting from the original analysis is not tight. In this work we refine this analysis to get a tight upper-bound on this probability which happens to be much lower than what was originally evalu...

In video coding, it is a challenge to deal with scenes with complex motions, such as rotation and zooming. Although affine motion compensation (AMC) is employed in Versatile Video Coding (VVC), it is still difficult to handle non-translational motions due to the adopted hand-craft block-based motion compensation. In this paper, we propose a deep affine motion compensation network (DAMC-Net) for inter prediction in video coding to effectively improve the prediction accuracy. To the best of our kn...

That what it is? >> well, of course thats not what it is. you know, critical race theory is basically an academic discipline that was started by law professors in the 70s and 80s that intended to look at the reasons why there is so much of a gap between promises of american equality, the promises of the 13th and the 14th amendment, and our ability to realize those promises in real and material ways. sometimes we like to talk about it in terms that acknowledge that race is itself a fiction, but r...

| 01 March 2021 Claiming to have advanced considerably viewing experiences produced by its media technology and services, MediaKind has integrated Dolby Vision technology within its encoding portfolio. Dolby Vision is an advanced imaging technology that combines high dynamic range (HDR) with wide colour gamut capabilities to deliver ultra-vivid picture quality such as “incredible” brightness, contrast, colour and detail. When compared to a standard picture, Dolby Vision can del...
