Abstract: A computer architecture and programming model for high speed processing over broadband networks are provided. The architecture employs a consistent modular structure, a common computing module and uniform software cells. The common computing module includes a control processor, a plurality of processing units, a plurality of local memories from which the processing units process programs, a direct memory access controller and a shared main memory. A synchronized system and method for the coordinated reading and writing of data to and from the shared main memory by the processing units also are provided. A hardware sandbox structure is provided for security against the corruption of data among the programs being processed by the processing units. The uniform software cells contain both data and applications and are structured for processing by any of the processors of the network. Each software cell is uniquely identified on the network. A system and method for creating a dedicated pipeline for processing streaming data also are provided.

Abstract: A communication device communicates information via a virtual world configured by a server machine to client terminal devices operating characters in the virtual world. It is therefore possible to transmit various information to and to receive various information from the virtual world, even from a place remote from the client terminal devices, which enables a linking between the virtual world and the real world to be realized.

Abstract: A system and method for compressing video graphics data are provided. The system and method include generating in a graphics pipeline, from video graphics data modeling objects, vertex data corresponding to the objects, rendering the video graphics data to produce a current frame of pixel data and a reference frame of pixel data, and, based upon the vertex data, defining a search area within the reference frame for calculating a motion vector for a block of pixel data within the current frame. The current frame then is compressed using the motion vector. The use of vertex data from the graphics pipeline to define the search area substantially reduces the amount of searching necessary to generate motion vectors and perform data compression.
