摘要:
A print processing apparatus realizes high speed processing of input data which includes various types of drawing objects such as images, graphics and characters. In the apparatus, input data generated by an input data generating unit is converted into intermediate data in an intermediate data generating element. An intermediate data order controlling element rearranges intermediate data pieces based on overlap therebetween and classifies them into groups, in each of which the data pieces can be processed in parallel. A group ID indicating a group for parallel processing, a hardware configuration ID and so on are assigned to the intermediate data piece. A rasterizing unit receives configuration data from a configuration data administering element, if necessary, in accordance with the hardware configuration ID assigned to the intermediate data piece, and rewrites a function of a reconfigurable rasterizing element under the control of the reconfiguration controlling element. The rasterizing unit rasterizes the intermediate data into dot data and provides it to an outputting unit.

An image processing device including an image processing section and a memory managing section. The image processing section having: (A) one or more image processing modules, each having: an image processing engine and a control section; and (B) one or more buffer modules. The memory managing section (a) can execute, by a plurality of types of managing methods, memory managing processing in which, in accordance with requests from individual modules, the memory managing section reserves memories which are to be allotted to the individual modules from a memory provided at the image processing device, and allots the reserved memories to the individual modules, and, at a time of deleting the individual modules, releases the memories allotted to the individual modules, and (b) carries out the memory managing processing by a managing method which is instructed from the exterior among the plurality of types of managing methods.
摘要:
An image processing device has one or more image processing modules and one or more buffer modules. The image processing module reads image data from a preceding module in units of a reading data amount, performs a image processing on the image data, and outputs the image data to a following module in units of a writing data amount. The buffer modules stores the image data outputted from the preceding image processing module and outputs the image data in units of a outputting data amount. The image processing module is connected to at least one of a preceding or following stage of the buffer module.

A processing device has plural processing modules executing a processing; and plural connectors each having a linking section, an associating section, and a controller. The linking section is able to link with at least one other connector at an input side or an output side. The associating section associates the connector with one of the processing modules. In accordance with a linked state, the controller controls the processing module associated by the associating section.
摘要:
An image processing section of an image processing device is constructed by plural image processing modules being connected in a pipeline form, such that a buffer module is connected at at least one of preceding and following stages of each module. A buffer control section of the buffer module: when image data is outputted from the preceding image processing module, causes the module to write, immediately or after completion of reading, based on weather the following image processing module is reading data from the buffer; and when image data is requested from the following image processing module, causes the module to read, immediately or after completion of writing, based on weather the preceding image processing module is writing data to the buffer.
