The author analyzes how their film challenges thriller genre conventions to surprise the audience.

This document describes a proposed VLSI architecture for an optimized low power digit serial finite impulse response (FIR) filter using multiple constant multiplications (MCM). It introduces an algorithm to optimize the area of digit serial MCM operations at the gate level by considering implementation costs of digit serial addition, subtraction, and shift operations. The proposed filter architecture aims to reduce area and power compared to designs using generic digit serial multipliers through the use of MCM blocks optimized for area. Experimental results indicate the algorithm leads to lower complexity digit serial MCM designs.
