Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving video data to be encoded, determining pixels for a first transform unit (TU) of a first prediction unit (PU) of a square shape of the video data, storing the pixels in a buffer, performing intra-prediction for a second PU by reusing the stored pixels for a second TU of the second PU, and encoding the video data based on the intra-prediction. A system may include a video encoder and/or a tape holder apparatus. The tape holder apparatus may include a cubical tape holder to hold multiple tape cartridges in a stack, wherein a tape cartridge may be inserted into a top of the cubical tape holder. The tape holder apparatus may include a handle and a horizontal slot enabling a single tape cartridge to be pushed out from a bottom of the stack. Various other methods, systems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.

Abstract: In an example, a method for filtering pixel data in video coding comprises determining a pixel filtering task from a plurality of pixel filtering tasks for filtering the pixel data, wherein each filtering task of the plurality of pixel filtering tasks is based on an instruction set for a programmable instruction set based controller, and executing the determined filtering task on the pixel data.
