Parallel design of arithmetic coding
Jianmin Jiang, Simon Jones · IEE Proceedings - Computers and Digital Techniques · 1994
The paper presents a parallel algorithm design for real-time implementation of arithmetic coding. The implementation comprises a parallel-processing array arranged in a tree structure. Within each cycle, a group of input symbols can be encoded. This increases the arithmetic coding speed substantially. Details of a fixed-precision algorithm design, its implementation and simulation of its performance are reported.
