An efficient method and device for the parallel processing of sub-blocks of data. A parallel processing array has computing elements configured to process blocks of data of an image in a parallel manner. Blocks of image data are generated, wherein each of the blocks of image data are divided into sub-blocks, with a first data point of each sub-block flagging a beginning position of the sub-block. A block of type data is generated for each of the blocks of image data. Each of the blocks of type data contains the first data point for all of the sub-blocks in the block of image data, so that the numbers and locations of all sub-blocks in each block of image data can be determined without first having to process the block of image data.
