TDL for Parallel Processing

When multiplies and additions can be performed in parallel, the computational complexity of a tapped delay line is $ {\cal O}(1)$ multiplies and $ {\cal O}(\log(K))$ additions, where $ K$ is the number of taps. This computational complexity is achieved by arranging the additions into a binary tree, as shown in Fig.2.21 for the case $ K=4$ .
