Abstract: A processor having a limited amount of local memory for storing code and/or data utilizes a program stored in external memory. The program stored in external memory is configured into blocks which can be loaded individually into the local memory for execution. Queuing the individual blocks of code allows the program to be executed by the processor and also facilitates loading of the subsequent code to be executed. A semaphore system can be utilized to indicate which blocks of local memory are available/unavailable. A group of transfer parameters as queue entries allow code and data for an algorithm to be transferred between both local and external memory.

Abstract: A video controller having a processor for processing executable instructions and associated data and a number of data ports, a method of acquiring extended display identification data (EDID) by a requesting one of the data ports is described. When on-board power supply is activated, an off-board power supply is deactivated and then the now active on-board power supply provides power to a memory device used to store the EDID and the executable instructions and associated data and to an on-board clock circuit capable of providing a high frequency clock signal. The on-board clock circuit, in turn, provides the high frequency clock signal from the on-board clock circuit to the memory device and if a memory read operation had been in progress when the on-board power supply was activated, then the memory read operation is completed.
