Different way of implementing and designing arithmetic functions for 16/32 bit integers in FPGA technology are studied. This also includes a comparison of four different design methods.The results are used to increase the overall system performance in a dedicated 3D image analysis prototype system by moving a vector length calculation from software to hardware.The conclusion is that by adding one relatively simple board containing two FPGA's in the prototype setup, the total computing time is reduced by 30 %. The total amount of image data, in this case 300 Mbyte which has to be transmitted via network, is reduced by a factor of two, and the required network bandwidth is reduced similarly.
