Matrix-Form 1-D DWT • Formulation: * 𝐷 = 𝑈𝑁 % 𝑌 , where 𝑈𝑁 = ∏ 𝑈 ) () • TM matrix is highly sparse Ø Large number of multiply-by-zero operations Ø Large memory footprint consisting of zeroes • Goals: Ø SIMD-friendly operations on non-zero values only Ø Customized DMA routines for efficient bandwidth utilization

Sparse Matrix Skeleton 8 36 • Remove multiply-by-zero operations • Reduction in memory footprint of TM .

Summary • We propose a Modified Matrix-Form scheme to unlock inherent parallelism in 1-D DWT • We exploit the sparsity pattern in TM to reduce complexity from O( 𝑜 8 ) to O( 𝑜 ) using : Skeletons to avoid wasteful multiply-by-zero operations Ø Rearrangement of input samples Ø • Speedups of 12-103x over state-of-the-art in-built signal library in Octave( dwt function)
