Abstract :
We present a bit-serial architecture for convolving/correlating long numerical sequences by long filter functions. Because of its two-level interleaving structure, the proposed device does not require “wait cycles” between consecutive input samples. As a result, it achieves the highest possible throughput. Cascadability, fault tolerance, feasibility in VLSI technology, and computing performances are discussed and analyzed
