  • Method and apparatus for performing pipelined operations on parallel input data with feedback
    Patent number: 9246491
    Abstract: Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide a method and apparatus for performing pipelined operations on input data with feedback. One embodiment of the apparatus includes a first logic circuit for determining a value of a first function based on input data for a first clock cycle. The first logic circuit includes pipeline stages that perform subsets of calculations of the value of the first function in one clock cycle. The apparatus also includes a second logic circuit for determining a value of a second function for the first clock cycle based on a value of a third function for a second clock cycle prior to the first clock cycle. The apparatus further includes a third logic circuit for determining a value of the third function for the first clock cycle by combining the values of the first and second functions for the first clock cycle.
