1. A distributed arithmetic multiply/accumulate (MAC) unit for computing inverse discrete cosine transformations, comprising:
a first pipeline stage of said distributed arithmetic MAC configured to perform dot products on received sequential input data, wherein row transformations are performed initially and column transformations are performed subsequent to said row transformations; and
a second pipeline stage of said distributed arithmetic MAC coupled to said first pipeline stage and configured to compute additions and subtractions of said dot products to yield sequential output data,
wherein said distributed arithmetic MAC unit has a 12-bit precision.
