Abstract
A method for performing calculation operations uses a pipelined calculation device comprising a group of at least two pipeline stages, at least one data interface for input of data, and at least one data interface for output of data. The pipeline stages include at least one data interface for input of data and at least one data interface for output of data. Data for performing a first and a second calculation operation is input to the device. In the first calculation operation, output data of at least one pipeline stage is stored into a memory. In the second calculation operation the stored data is used as input data to a pipeline stage. The invention further relates to a system and a device, in which the method is utilized.
