Abstract:
An embodiment of a system may include a plurality of media units, a processor, and circuitry. Each media unit may be configured to execute one or more commands to process a display image. The processor may be configured to store a plurality of media processing commands in a queue. The circuitry may be configured to retrieve a first media processing command from the queue and send the first media processing command to a first media unit. The circuitry may also be configured to retrieve a second media processing from the queue and send the second media processing command to a second media unit in response to receiving an interrupt from the first media unit. The circuitry may then copy data from the first media unit to the second media unit in response to receiving the interrupt from the first media unit.
