Abstract: This paper proposes a new architecture for efficient variable-length decoding (VLD) of entropy-coded data for multimedia applications on general-purpose processors. It improves on earlier ...

Abstract: In 2004, ISO/IEC SC29 better known as MPEG started a new standard initiative aiming at facilitating the deployment of multi-format video codec design and to enable the possibility of ...

A variable-length integer encoding optimized for CPU-friendly decoding of small values, with a built-in sentinel channel for format extensibility. See BLIP_SPEC.md for the full specification. Existing ...
