A memory controller of the heterogeneous memory system provides a QoS policy table, which operates to associate each QoSID with a QoS policy state, and which also may be software-configurable. Upon receiving a memory access request including a memory address of a memory region, the memory controller identifies a software-configurable QoSID associated with the memory address, and associates the QoSID with a QoS policy state using the QoS policy table. The memory controller then applies the QoS policy state to perform the memory access operation.

The invention describes a method of single-transverse-mode generation for waveguide lasers of various kinds having a large cross section of their active core and thus providing a possibility of efficient pump of the active core region. This results in a laser beam with enhanced power and high spatial quality for high efficiency coupling to standard single-mode optical fiber networks. It is found that a multimode waveguide having a central dip of special shape in the refractive index profile of its core is able to guide a higher order mode with sharp central peak of its field carrying the considerable part on the mode energy and whose width is well compatible with the width of the fundamental mode of standard single-mode fibers.

System and method to control compressed video picture quality for a given average bit rate

Picture level rate control systems, apparatuses and methods are described which indirectly control bit rate through peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), thereby providing a stable PSNR while maintaining a given target average bit rate. In a preferred implementation, encoding is performed in conjunction with macroblock QP modulation. In this way, the picture level rate control provides stable temporal quality and the macroblock QP modulation provides stable spatial quality. By way of example, the number of bits generated in a group of pictures (GOP) is controlled by modulating the target bit allocation for a group of pictures (GOP) based on coded picture buffer (CPB) fullness. Macroblocks are encoded for each picture based on a rate-distortion model, which is modified in response to the relative fluctuation of PSNR of pictures within a group of pictures.

The present invention relates to a free viewpoint image quality evaluation method based on ray space. The invention uses the edge pixel direction consistency parameter of lines which have same direction in ray space for elevating the ray space quality obtained by three different interpolation methods. Firstly the high-frequency energy diagrams of all pixel direction angles in the ray space are obtained from three interpolation methods. Simultaneously the edge graph of ray space, which has low noise and same direction, is obtained. Then the average high frequency energy value of pixel direction angle in the edge graph is calculated, and the value is used as an important criterion which is used for evaluating the consistency of ray space edge pixel direction obtained through interpolation. Finally whether the evaluated high-quality ray space can generate high-quality viewpoint picture is checked. The test shows that when the ray space obtained through fixed-direction interpolation, ray space obtained through bilinear interpolation and ray space obtained through most adjacent interpolation are executed with quality evaluation, the obtained parameter variation is more uniform and is more adjacent with the variation characteristic of PSNR evaluation result compared with the prior art.
