This paper describes the implementation of a semi-unified high performance coprocessor of transform length '8' for the synchronous design in XC3S1400AN-4FG484 FPGA device of Xilinx Company. The operating frequency of 20 MHz is achieved. The paper presents the trade-offs involved in designing the architecture, the design for performance issues and the possibilities for future development. %K Coprocessor %K Discrete Transforms %K Implementation %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.ajsp.20120201.01.html
