Array architecture with data-rings for 3-step hierarchical search block matching algorithm
 The invention discloses a 9-cell array architecture with data-rings for 3-step hierarchical search (3SHS) block-matching algorithm. With the efficient data-rings and memory organization, the regular raster-scanned data flow and comparator tree-like structure can be used to simply internal I/O controller and reduce latency. In addition, we can utilize techniques to reduce external memory accesses and interconnections. The results demonstrate that the array architecture with the data-rings is low in terms of latency, memory bandwidth and costs and a high performance solution for the 3 SHS.
