The invention generally relates to a method of providing random access for video data in which a P-frame of the video data is configured to be random accessible in addition to I-frames. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of providing random access for video data in which a P-frame is configured to be random accessible based on a random access reference frame which is provided via a separate channel such as header area of video data packets or a metadata file, whereby the random access for video data may be effectively provided with overcoming the conventional video random access technology depending on the I-frame only. The invention makes it possible to configure a P-frame random accessible simply by accompanying a random access reference frame of small datasize, whereby video compression ratio may be improved due to smaller numbers of I-frames being included in video data than conventional arts.

Method of providing random access for video data based on random accessible P-frame

The present invention relates to a caching method of multi-core graphic processing unit (GPU) for improving image processing performance by efficiently storing video data into the cache memory out of the global memory. One aspect of the present invention is to provide a caching method of graphic processing unit (GPU) having multiple cores wherein at least a part of pixels out of A*B pixels of video data are cached into a cache memory in order to perform image processing on k pixels of N*N size (where, k, N, A and B are natural numbers; k=N*N; A&#x3e;N; B&#x3e;N), the method comprising: grouping the at least a part of pixels out of A*B pixels into k pixel groups; mapping the k pixel groups to k cores of the GPU one-to-one basis by utilizing index information of each of the k pixels; and storing video data of the k pixel groups in the cache memory with reference to the mapping result.
