Presented herein are system(s), and method(s) for non-linear scaling of source pictures to a destination screen. In one embodiment, there is presented a monitor for displaying a source picture. The monitor comprises a screen and a circuit. The screen comprises a plurality of columns, including at least one center column, a plurality of left columns, and a plurality of right columns. The circuit provides pixels for display at each of the plurality of columns of a source picture that are indicated by the phase accumulator. The phase accumulator is incremented by step values that are continuous with respect to the plurality of columns.

A system, method, and apparatus for providing display parameters from the decode process to the display process are presented herein. The decode process receives images which are encoded according to a predetermined standard. Included with the encoded images are parameters which facilitate the decode and display processes. The decode process decodes the encoded images as well as the parameters and stores each image in a separate image buffer. Additionally, the decode process stores the parameters which facilitate the display process in a buffer descriptor structure associated with the image buffer. The display process uses the parameters stored in the buffer descriptor structure during the display process.

Disclosed herein are debugging tool(s) for profiling the frequency of execution of certain instructions in a host operation. The debugging tool causes interrupts to occur at random time intervals and records the address of the program counter at each interrupt. A profile is developed that indicates the frequency of execution of certain instructions after a statistically significant number of interrupts.
