Solution Approach 1:

The current block is divided into multiple prediction blocks, and the prediction process is segmented into parallel operations. Each prediction block can be processed independently using the extrapolation filter with determined filter coefficients, allowing simultaneous prediction without interfering with each other's accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The prediction process transitions from sequential single-sample processing to parallel multi-sample processing by adding the dimension of parallelism. Multiple samples in the current block are predicted simultaneously using the same extrapolation filter and filter coefficients, fundamentally changing the execution model from serial to parallel operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
