    摘要: A method for optimizing scan chains in an integrated circuit that has multiple levels of hierarchy addresses unlimited chains and stumps and separately all other chains and stumps. Unlimited chains and stumps are optimized by dividing an area encompassed by the chains and by a start point and an end point of the stump into a grid comprised of a plurality of grid boxes, and determining a grid box to grid box connectivity route to access all of the grid boxes between the start point and the end point by means of a computer running a routing algorithm. All other chains and stumps are optimized randomly assigning to a stump a chain that can be physically reached by that stump and adding an additional chain to that stump based on the number of latches in the additional chain, its physical location, and the number of latches already assigned.

    摘要: A digital video encoding method, apparatus and computer program product are described with enhanced encoding of a picture having a plurality of macroblocks. The approach is to partition the picture into at least two regions and then to set or adjust at least one encoding parameter for each macroblock of the picture based upon the region of the picture within which the macroblock is located. As one specific implementation, the picture is partitioned into a center region and at least one outer region and the at least one encoding parameter is set to enhance picture quality in the center region at the expense of picture quality in the at least one outer region. The encoding parameter can, for example, be a motion estimation parameter, a quantization value, or a target bits per macroblock.
