A 30 ns (600 MOPS) image processor with a reconfigurable pipeline architecture

Abstract
A 30-ns (600-MOPS) image processor is described. The 200 K-transistor chip has been fabricated in a 1.2-μm CMOS. A reconfigurable pipeline architecture with an array of nine multiplier/accumulators (MAC) is implemented by interchanging its pipelined data paths. This allows it to perform both matrix products and convolutions, systolically, for the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and transversal filters at HDTV rate. 512 by 512-pixel image data can be computed in less than 7.9 ms with sufficient resolution
