METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONFIGURING TO A DESIRED ORDER THE ORDER OF A DATA ARRAY

A method and system of configuring an array of data is disclosed. The method and system comprise generating an array of data an order and reconfiguring the array of data into a plurality sub arrays of data, the plurality of sub arrays of data being in a desired order. By utilizing the method and system in accordance with the present invention, a converted data array can be processed in a parallel fashion thereby increasing the overall processing speed of the computer system. The present invention has particular utility when converting data either from a bit reverse order to a natural order or from a natural order to a bit reverse order. In accordance with the present invention, the array of data is reconfigured utilizing a swap operation to allow for conversion of the data array from either a bit reverse order to a natural order or from a natural order to a bit reversed order.
