Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
This paper describes a new mechanism for concurrent use of more functional units, without increasing the control path of a generic VLIW architecture. The proposed approach only requires small modifications in the architecture and a new code selection function in the instruction scheduler. The key idea of this approach is to search for similar independent operations inside a basic assembler code block and merge them in a single instruction, which executes the same operation with even and odd operand registers in two different functional units. A comprehensive evaluation of this mechanism with two multimedia tasks shows an improvement of the dynamic instructions-per-cycle, exceeding the theoretical maximum of the reference architecture. ©2009 IEEE.
