Abstract:
1. In an integrated circuit, a method for decoding encoded data, said method comprising: receiving a run-length-encoded (RLE) data stream including RLE data associated with a series of blocks of data; run-length decoding RLE data associated with a first block of data into a first plurality of values; decoding said first plurality of values using a first decoding channel selected from a plurality of decoding channels operating in parallel; run-length decoding RLE data associated with a second block of data into a second plurality of values; and decoding said second plurality of values using a second decoding channel selected from said plurality of decoding channels; and wherein said step of decoding said second plurality of values occurs at least partially during said step of decoding said first plurality of values; said first and said second pluralities of values are pluralities of quantized coefficients; said step of decoding said first plurality of quantized coefficients includes said step of decoding said second plurality of quantized coefficients includes
