Abstract
A hardware pixel processing pipeline and a video processing instruction set accelerate image processing and/or video decompression. The pixel processing pipeline uses hardware components to more efficiently perform color space conversion and horizontal upscaling. Additionally, the pixel processing pipeline also reduces the size of its output data to conserve bandwidth. A specialized video processing instruction set allows further acceleration of video processing or video decoding by allowing receipt of a single instruction to cause multiple addition operation or interpolation of multiple pairs of pixels in parallel.
