High performance renormalization for binary arithmetic video coding

Various embodiments for high performance renormalization for video encoding are described. In one or more embodiments, renormalization may involve detecting a leading number of '0's in a range value of an input stream of symbols, a run of '1's in an offset value of the input stream of symbols, and a run of '0's following the run of '1' in the offset value. A bitstream may be outputted based on an iteration window for a number of renormalization iterations. The iteration window may comprise a bit range after the run of 'l's in the offset value, and the number of renormalization iterations may be based on the leading number of '0's in the range value. In some embodiments, a run of '1's followed by one or more '0's may be identified as a particular pattern. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
