  • Publication number: 20030190092
    Abstract: A system and method for resizing an original image into a resized image is provided. The system processes the luminance channel and the chrominance channels (Cb and Cr) of the original image separately. The original image is divided into original sub-blocks of appropriate size. Each original sub-block may be processed into a corresponding resized sub-block. Only the luminance and chrominance data from one of the original sub-blocks may be used to create a corresponding resized sub-block, thus no overlap techniques need be employed. The system and method resizes the original sub-blocks into the resized sub-blocks without the use of multipliers.

  • Patent number: 5860154
    Abstract: A macro instruction is provided for a microprocessor which allows a programmer to specify a base value, index, scale factor and displacement value for calculating an effective address and returning that result in a single clock cycle. The macro instruction is converted into a micro operation which is provided to the single-cycle execution unit with the required source operands for performing the calculation. Within the single-cycle execution unit, the index and scale factor are provided to a left shifter for multiplying the two values. The result of the left shift operation is added to the sum of the base and displacement. This results in the effective address which is then returned from the single-cycle execution unit to a predetermined destination. This provides for the calculation of an effective address in a single cycle pipeline execution unit that is independent of the memory system execution units.

  • Patent number: 5701504
    Abstract: An adder which reduces signal propagation delay experienced by conventional adders by calculating bitwise carries and utilizing these bitwise carries as non-selecting inputs. In a preferred embodiment, the adder includes three primary circuits. The first circuit for generating propagate and generate signals based on its two inputs. The second circuit uses the propagate and generate signals in combination with a global carry-in signal to produce bitwise carries based on the Kogge-Stone Parallel Algorithm. These bitwise carries in combination with bit sums of the first and second digital inputs are used to calculate a plurality of real bit sums corresponding to the sum of these digital inputs.

  • Patent number: 5625582
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device performing arithmetic operations on a plurality of digital inputs to produce an effective address and a linear address in a single operation. The integrated circuit device comprises a first circuit, a first adder circuit and a second adder circuit. The first circuit performs logical operations on the plurality of digital inputs to produce a first group of output signals and a second group of output signals. The first adder circuit, coupled to the first circuit, performs a first set of arithmetic operations on the first group of output signals to produce an effective address. Concurrently, the second adder circuit, coupled to the first circuit and in parallel with the second adder circuit, performs a second set of arithmetic operations on the second group of output signals to produce a linear address.

  • Patent number: 5612911
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device performing arithmetic operations on a plurality of digital inputs to produce an Effective Address and a Linear Address in parallel. The integrated circuit device comprises a first, second and third circuit. The first circuit includes a first adding circuit performs logical operations on the plurality of digital inputs (segment address, scaled index, displacement and segment base) to produce a first plurality of output signals for use in producing the Effective Address and another plurality of output signals to produce an uncorrected Linear Address. The uncorrected Linear Address, if accurate, should be equivalent to the arithmetic sum of the Effective Address and the segment base.
