Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: means for decomposing input data into a plurality of code-blocks; means for assigning the plurality of code-blocks, on a code-block basis, to a plurality of MQ coders for coding the plurality of code-blocks in parallel so that the number of coefficients coded by each of the plurality of MQ coders is approximately the same, to the extent possible when assigning code-blocks on a code block basis, wherein the plurality of MQ coders comprises first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth MQ coders, wherein the first MQ coder is assigned code-blocks corresponding to LL the second MQ coder is assigned code-blocks corresponding to LL the third MQ coder is assigned code-blocks corresponding to LL the fourth MQ coder is assigned code-blocks corresponding to a HL the fifth MQ coder is assigned code-blocks corresponding to a LH the sixth MQ coder is assigned code-blocks corresponding to a LH the seventh MQ-coder is assigned code-blocks corresponding to a HL the eighth MQ coder is assigned code-blocks corresponding to a HH
