Abstract:
An efficient design approach to derive a linear systolic array architecture for a prime length type IV discrete cosine transform is presented. This approach is based on a VLSI algorithm that uses a circular correlation structure. The proposed algorithm is then mapped onto a linear systolic array with a small number of I/O channels and low I/O bandwidth that can be efficiently implemented into a VLSI chip. A highly efficient VLSI chip can be thus obtained that outperforms others in the architectural topology, computing parallelism, processing speed, hardware complexity and I/O costs.
