Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing diversified virtual memory by an engine. Techniques disclosed include receiving one or more request messages, each request message including a job descriptor that specifies an operation to be performed on a respective virtual memory space, processing the job descriptors by generating one or more commands for transmission to one or more virtual memory managers, and transmitting the one or more commands to the one or more virtual memory managers (VMMs) for processing.

Abstract: A processing system includes a transport stream aggregator that receives a plurality of transport streams in a transport stream format and that generates an aggregated transport stream in response. The transport stream aggregator processes transport stream packets of the plurality of transport streams and replaces a packet synchronization field with a customized synchronization field. A processing device is configured to generate a processed video signal from the aggregated transport stream.

Abstract: A processing system includes a memory module that includes a register space for storing a plurality of register data in a plurality of registers and secure access data corresponding to the register space. A register arbitration module operates to receive a request to access one of the registers from a client module; retrieve secure access data corresponding to the client to determine if the client is trusted; and to grant the request to access the register if the client is trusted. If the client is not trusted, the register arbitration module retrieves secure access data to determine if the register is non-secured for the client. The register arbitration module grants the request to access the register when the register is non-secured for the client.
