Patent ID: 8660380

Claim:
A system comprising: row transform circuitry configured to perform a row transform on first data to generate second data; and column transform circuitry configured to perform a column transform on said second data to generate third data, and wherein said row transform circuitry is configured to separate a row of said first data into a first portion and a second portion, wherein said first portion of said row comprises a first plurality of values, and wherein said second portion of said row comprises a second plurality of values, wherein said row transform circuitry is configured to determine whether said first plurality of values of said first portion of said comprises at least one zero value, wherein said row transform circuitry is further configured to determine whether said second plurality of values of said second portion of said row comprises at least one zero value, wherein said row transform circuitry is further configured to process said first portion and said second portion contemporaneously, and wherein said row transform circuitry is further configured to perform, when performing said row transform, an operation associated with at least one data value comprising a zero value, wherein said at least one data value is selected from a group consisting of at least one data value of said first portion of said row and at least one data value of said second portion of said row.
