A new algorithm that synthesises multiplier blocks with low hardware requirement suitable for implementation as part of full-parallel finite impulse response (FIR) filters is presented. Although the techniques in use are applicable to implementation on application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and Structured ASIC technologies, analysis is performed using field programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware. Fully pipelined, full-parallel transposed-form FIR filters with multiplier block were generated using the new and previous algorithms, implemented on an FPGA target and the results compared. Previous research in this field has concentrated on minimising multiplier block adder cost but the results presented here demonstrate that this optimisation goal does not minimise FPGA hardware. Minimising multiplier block logic depth and pipeline registers is shown to have the greatest influence in reducing FPGA area cost. In addition to providing lower area solutions than existing algorithms, comparisons with equivalent filters generated using the distributed arithmetic technique demonstrate further area advantages of the new algorithm.

The discrete wavelet transform has taken its place at the forefront of research for the development of signal and image processing applications. These wavelet-based approaches have outperformed existing strategies in many areas including telecommunication, numerical analysis and, most notably, image/video compression. The authors present an investigation into the design and implementation of 1-D and 2-D discrete biorthogonal wavelet transforms (DBWTs) using a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based rapid prototyping environment. The proposed architectures for DBWTs are scalable, modular and have less area and time complexity when compared with existing structures. FPGA implementation results based on a Xilinx Virtex-2000E device have shown that the proposed system provides an efficient solution for the processing of DBWTs in real-time.

A correlation-inheriting vector quantisation (VQ) image coding algorithm is presented to re-encode the output indices of VQ after analysing the correlation inheritance of the indices' neighbourhood. Simulation results indicate that this algorithm can compact the VQ index to achieve an ∼21:1 compression ratio on average. In accordance with this new algorithm, an efficient very large scale integration architecture is also derived that, after synthesis, achieves a system clock rate of 110 MHz using a 0.35 µm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor standard library.

3D graphics performance is increasing faster than any other computing application. Almost all PC systems now include 3D graphics accelerators for games, computer aided design or visualisation applications. This article investigates the suitability of field programmable gate array devices as an accelerator for implementing 3D affine transformations. Proposed solution based on processing large matrix multiplication have been implemented, for large 3D models, on the RC1000 Celoxica board based development platform using Handel-C. Outstanding results have been obtained for the acceleration of 3D transformations using fixed and floating-point arithmetic.

The development of a re-scalable hardware implementation of a V-BLAST (Vertical Bell Labs Space–Time) multiple input multiple output system for future wireless communications systems is described. Re-scalability will support rapid prototyping of such systems. A floating-point model of the re-scalable system is constructed to guide the development of a fixed-point model, and subsequently a re-scalable hardware implementation. The system uses the Gauss–Jordan elimination method to perform channel matrix inversion and altering the division-by-zero threshold in this matrix inversion process is shown to have a significant effect on bit error rate performance results. The re-scalable hardware implementation is described in a hardware description language in the form of an intellectual property block and several V-BLAST systems are synthesised onto field programmable gate arrays.
