Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a decompression engine that can request compressed data to be transferred over a memory bus. In some cases, the memory bus is a width that requires multiple data transfers to transfer the requested data. In a case that requested data is to be presented in-order to the decompression engine, a re-order buffer can be used to store entries of data. When a head-of-line entry is received, the entry can be provided to the decompression engine. When a last entry in a group of one or more entries is received, all entries in the group are presented in-order to the decompression engine. In some examples, a decompression engine can borrow memory resources allocated for use by another memory client to expand a size of re-order buffer available for use. For example, a memory client with excess capacity and a slowest growth rate can be chosen to borrow memory resources from.

Abstract: A method and system for using steganographically-encoded time information as a basis to control when a client carries out a content-related action. The client processes for presentation one or more linear media streams, each defining a respective time sequence of frames of media content, and at least one of the streams being steganographically encoded with at least one watermark at a respective time-point within the linear media stream, the watermark encoding a timestamp of the respective time-point within the linear media stream according to a server clock. The client extracts the timestamp from the watermark and computes a time offset based on a difference between the extracted timestamp and a current time according to a client clock. And the client uses the computed time offset as a basis to determine when the client should carry out a content-related action in a given one of the one or more linear media streams.
