Abstract
An exemplary plurality of system nodes is arranged in a multi-stage modular architecture. A first system node performs a first frame processing task on a first frame of a frame sequence, and a second system node performs a second frame processing task on a second frame of the frame sequence. The first and second system nodes are included respectively, within first and second pipeline stages of the multi-stage modular architecture, and the first and second frame processing tasks are associated with the respective first and second pipeline stages. Subsequent to performing the first and second frame processing tasks, the first and second system nodes transmit the first and second frames to additional system nodes included within subsequent pipeline stages of the multi-stage modular architecture. These transmissions are synchronized so as to be performed within a predetermined threshold time of one another. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.
