Abstract
This arithmetic unit for carrying out partial sum of products for transform operations such as discrete cosine transform is provided which includes a plurality of first units for calculating in parallel sums of and/or differences between a plurality of input variables or sums of and/or differences between a plurality of values obtained by multiplying said plurality of input variables by a constant. The arithmetic unit also includes a processing unit having a plurality of shift units for shifting outputs from said plurality of first units by respectively predetermined numbers of digit-shifts and a plurality of second units for calculating concurrently sums of outputs from said plurality of shift units. The arithmetic can be used, for example, as a high speed discrete cosine unit, a high speed Hartley transform unit or a high speed Hough transform unit.
