In this paper, we explore parallelism in order to best meet real-time applications of 2-D DWT with demanding requirements in terms of speed, throughput, and power consumption. Therefore, 2-parallel and 3-parallel form of the single pipelined intermediate architecture are proposed. The 2-parallel and 3-parallel pipelined intermediate architectures achieve speedup factors of 2 and 3, respectively, as compared with single pipelined intermediate architecture proposed by Ibrahim et al. %Z cited By 1
