Abstract
The template data transfer coprocessor (TDTP) offloads block data transfer operations from a mediaprocessor. A uni-block template, program-guided template, an indirect template and queue-based template are described. The TDTP includes a template interpreter that employs an event-driven control mechanism to set up a template and compute block information and block information for each template. The programming involved in defining block data transfers for video and image processing algorithms is substantially reduced by the use of these templates.
