Patent ID: 7062522

Claim:
A method for split processing input data having first and second half data into first and second split Hartley transformed data, a Hartley whole transform defining first and second radix-2 Hartley transforms, the whole Hartley transform and the first and second radix-2 Hartley transforms are fast Hartley transforms, the method comprising the steps of, whole Hartley transforming the input data into merged Hartley transformed data, the merged Hartley transformed data equaling the whole Hartley transform of the input data, split combinational processing the merged Hartley transformed data into first and second split Hartley transformed data, the first and second split Hartley transformed data respectively equaling the first and second radix-2 Hartley transforms of the first and second half data, and communicating the first and second split Hartley transformed data over a communication link to a storage device.
