We present a new De-Blocking Filter module fully optimised for use on a recently introduced dynamically reconfigurable, instruction cell based architecture. The module consists of a novel combination of standard software transforms alongside architecture specific techniques and aims to reduce reconfiguration overheads and increase utilisation of resources. Our proposed filter outperforms the standard FFMpeg based filter code on the target architecture by 4.5 times.
