Abstract
A system and method for performing signal acceleration on data packets communicated across an AC-link bus directly interconnecting a codec to a codec controller. The system positions an accelerator directly in the communication path between the codec and its respective codec controller, so that the accelerator is arranged to receive signals traveling through the AC-link bus. This arrangement allows data manipulation to be performed by the accelerator on the data packets communicated across the AC-link bus, where the processed data packets are output by the accelerator back onto the AC-link bus. The accelerator is arranged to have real-time access to the input and output data streams traveling through the AC-link bus, so that data manipulation can be performed without multiple communications to the codec controller or host computer CPU.
