A system and method for performing computational processing by a systolic array. The systolic array including an array of processing elements (PEs) arranged in rows and columns; logic to perform a horizontal shift operation, wherein the horizontal shift operation is performed across the entire systolic array; and logic to mark columns of PEs as enabled or disabled, wherein the systolic array is horizontally divided into horizontal groups, and wherein when performing the horizontal shift operation, valid data that crosses from a first column of PEs of a first horizontal group to a second column of PEs of a second horizontal group is invalidated, wherein the first horizontal group is adjacent to the second horizontal group.

Efficient utilization of systolic arrays in computational processing

A logic circuit in a processor including a plurality of input registers, each for storing a vector containing data elements, a coefficient register for storing a vector containing N coefficients, an output register for storing a result vector, and an arithmetic unit configured to: obtain a pattern for selecting N data elements from the plurality of input registers, select a plurality of groups of N data elements from the plurality of input registers in parallel, wherein each group is selected in accordance with the pattern, and wherein each group is shifted with respect to a previous selected group, perform an arithmetic operation between each of the selected groups and the coefficients in parallel, and store results of the arithmetic operations in the output register.

Multi-dimensional sliding window operation for a vector processor, including dividing a filter into a plurality of patterns for selecting data elements from a plurality of input registers and performing calculations in parallel using groups of the data elements and coefficients

A system and method of data transfer that collapses a multi-dimensional data array while preserving neighboring connectivity. One or more program instructions may be received that request input data comprising a sub-set of data elements from a first data array in an external memory. The sub-set of data elements may be transferred from the first data array in the external memory to a second data array in an internal memory. The retrieved sub-set of requested data elements may be stored in the second array in respective positions translated from the positions in the first array by a plurality of omitted rows and columns from the first data array from which no data elements are requested.

System, data structure, and method for collapsing multi-dimensional data

A system and method for controlling video compression quantization comprising generating a quantizer scale offset based on diagonal frequencies of luminance components of a data block samples, luminance intensity of the samples and motion activity of the data block, adjusting a first quantizer scale using the quantizer scale offset to receive a second quantizer scale and quantizing the data block using the second quantizer scale.

Method and system for real-time adaptive quantization control

An image compression method is provided including separating an image into a plurality of color channel sub-images processing each of the color channel sub-images by sub-sampling the sub-image transform coding the sub-sampled sub-image decoding the transform-coded image forming a plurality of square groupings of pixels in the decoded image predicting a value for a pixel within each of the x-shaped groupings determining a prediction error for each predicted pixel value within each of the square groupings coding the prediction error forming a plurality of at least partly diamond-shaped groupings of pixels in the decoded image predicting a value for a pixel within each of the diamond-shaped groupings and combining each of the processed color channel sub-images with the coded prediction errors, thereby forming a compressed image.
