Abstract
A method for processing data using a multiplexing architecture includes performing a selected one of a plurality of first multiplexer operations on the data and then a selected one of a plurality of second multiplexer operations. The first multiplexer operations include a pass operation and a plurality of bit rearrangement operations. The second multiplexer operations include a pass operation and a plurality of bit duplication operations which duplicates a selected bit or bits to a corresponding block of contiguous bits in the output. A result is then generated that reflects the outputs produced by first and second multiplexers respectively.
