Patent ID: 8073272

Claim:
A method comprising: loading pixel data selected according to a scan order from a scrambled sequence of pixel data stored across a plurality of data memories in parallel to a plurality of processing elements (PEs), wherein said loading is in response to execution of a load instruction packed in very long instruction words (VLIWs) in each PE of the plurality of PEs and wherein said loading is repeated in response to execution of the VLIWs to sequentially reorder the scrambled sequence of pixel data to accomplish inverse scan operations; and dequantizing in parallel on the plurality of PEs the loaded pixel data to generate dequantized pixel data in response to the execution of the VLIWs in each PE, wherein VLIW packing combines an inverse scan operation with a dequantization operation in at least one of the VLIWs for execution in parallel across the plurality of PEs.
