<p>A system (10) for calculating a convolution of a data function with a filter function utilizing an array (12) of processors (14) including first and last processors. A coefficient value based on a derivation of the filter function and a data value representative of the data function are multiplied to produce a current intermediate value. Except in the first processor, a prior intermediate value is then added to the current intermediate value. Except in the last processor, the data and current intermediate values are then sent to the next processor. Then the last processor's prior intermediate value, if any, is added to its current intermediate value to produce a result value, wherein the result values collectively are representative of the convolution of the data function with the filter function.</p> |
