Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for generating a set of data points that form a triangular wave having a desired gain and a desired frequency. In one example, the method includes the step of (a) determining an increment value based on the desired frequency and the desired gain of the triangular wave. The method further includes the step of (b) adding the increment value to a current data point to generate a next data point, the current data point and the next data point forming a subset of the set of data points. The method further includes the step of iteratively performing (a) and (b) to generate the set of data points that form the triangular wave.

Abstract: This disclosure describes efficient memory fetching techniques that can improve data fetching during a motion compensation decoding process. The techniques propose several different memory fetching modes that may be very efficient in different scenarios of the motion compensation decoding process. In some embodiments, a motion compensator selects a particular memory fetch mode from a plurality of possible modes on a case-by-case basis for the memory fetches associated with a motion compensation decoding process of a macroblock. The techniques described herein may be particularly useful when fractional interpolation to sub-integer pixels is used in the inter-frame compression.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for processing audio files that comply with the musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) format. In particular, various tasks associated with MIDI file processing are delegated between software operating on a general purpose processor, firmware associated with a digital signal processor (DSP), and dedicated hardware that is specifically designed for MIDI file processing. Alternatively, a multi-threaded DSP may be used instead of a general purpose processor and the DSP. In one aspect, this disclosure provides a method comprising parsing MIDI files and scheduling MIDI events associated with the MIDI files using a first process, processing the MIDI events using a second process to generate MIDI synthesis parameters, and generating audio samples using a hardware unit based on the synthesis parameters.
