Efficient retrieval of multimedia data has gained importance in recent years. There are many techniques for efficient retrieval of textual data; however, not all of them are applicable to multimedia data. The problem of efficiency in the retrieval of multimedia data could be over come by getting the semantics of multimedia data. In this regard, the researchers have adapted the approaches from t...

Digital interactive media augments interactive computing with video, audio, computer graphics and text, allowing multimedia presentations to be individually and dynamically tailored to the user. Multimedia, and particularly continuous media pose interesting problems for system designers, including those of latency and synchronization. These problems are especially evident when multimedia data i...

The rapid moving of computing into multimedia leads computers to include special instructions to support multimedia operations, including those with RISC architectures[5,6]. Multimedia performance now becomes a pseudo-benchmark for modern processors. This paper presents such benchmark in HISC, which stands for Highlevel Instruction Set Computer [1,2]. HISC is a generalpurpose descriptor compute...
