Abstract:
A data processing system includes a buffer, a design under checking (DUC), and a self-checking circuit. The buffer is used to buffer data generated from a source device. The DUC is used to perform a designated function upon data read from the buffer when operating under a normal mode. The self-checking circuit is used to apply logic functional checking to the DUC when the DUC operates under a self-checking mode. When the DUC operates under the self-checking mode, the buffer keeps buffering data generated from the source device.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for deblocking process using multiple processing units are disclosed. The video image is divided into at least two regions. The in-loop filter is applied to block boundaries associated with said at least two regions using multiple processing units. The in-loop filter is re-applied to one or more second block boundaries adjacent to region edge between two regions after applying the in-loop filter to the first block boundaries adjacent to the region edge. Furthermore, at least a first portion of said applying the in-loop filter to the first block boundaries and a second portion of said applying the in-loop filter to the second block boundaries are performed concurrently. The multiple processing units may correspond to multiple processing cores within one processor chip.
