Low power, high performance transform coprocessor for video compression

摘要

First and second integer transform matrices can be used to approximate the discrete cosine transform. An input matrix of data is multiplied by a first transform matrix of integers to produce an intermediate matrix of data. The intermediate matrix is multiplied by a second transform matrix of integers to produce a transform result matrix of data. The multiplications by the first and second transform matrices can be pipelined to increase throughput. A plurality of transform data paths can also be provided in parallel to increase throughput.
