Abstract: The present invention systems and methods enable dynamic allocation and control of on-chip memory. In one embodiment, a system includes a plurality of internal memory components and a control component. The plurality of internal memory components store information. The control component controls access requests from a plurality of heterogeneous components to the internal memory components. The plurality of internal memory components are dynamically assigned to the plurality of heterogeneous components. The heterogeneous components can include different types of engines. In one embodiment, the system includes a clock compensation component for coordinating clocking for access requests from the heterogeneous engines.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamic frequency adjustment during video decoding. A decode time for performing a hardware variable length decode (VLD) on a portion of a video clip at a processor is measured. A frequency controlling the processor during video decoding is adjusted based at least in part on the decode time.
