Motivated by the observation that most methods for accelerating the generalized Lloyd algorithm (GLA) normally lack the capability to improve the quality of its end result and that most methods for improving the quality of the end result of GLA usually lack the capability to speed it up, an efficient and effective method is presented in this paper to enhance the performance of GLA and its variants, in terms of both the computation time and the quality of the end result, by leveraging the strengths of several reduction methods and the multiple stage mechanism. Simulation results show that the proposed method can efficiently and effectively reduce the computation time of GLA by up to about 93% while at the same time improving its quality by up to about 1 dB in terms of the peak-signal-to-noise-ratio in most cases.
