This paper presents a reconfigurable machine for applications in image or video compression. The machine can be used stand alone or as a universal accelerator co-processor for desktop computers for image processing. It is well suited for image compression algorithms such as JPEG for still pictures or for encoding MPEG movies. It provides a much cheaper and more flexible hardware platform than special image compression ASICs and it can substantially accelerate desktop computing.
