  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING OF VIDEO STREAMS
    Publication number: 20080152014
    Abstract: A method and processor to encode and/or decode a video stream exploiting frame-level parallelism. Frames of the video stream are encoded and/or decoded using M processing units where each processing unit processes one different frame at a time. Each processing unit writes the reconstructed frame to a frame buffer. A processing unit can start the encoding and/or decoding process once sufficient data of the previous reconstructed frame are available.
