Abstract
Reference data is one type of data that the video accelerator may frequently be read from external memory. In various examples, the video accelerator can adaptively select inter-prediction modes based on the bandwidth to external memory that is available at any point in time. The video accelerator can determine the amount of bandwidth that is available, and when the bandwidth is insufficient for obtaining reference data for all possible inter-prediction modes, the video accelerator can use the encoding parameters of a neighboring block to select an inter-prediction mode to use. The video accelerator can then obtain a reference window for the selected inter-prediction mode, and perform prediction using the inter-prediction mode and the reference window.
