Abstract

A system implements rate control for encoding and decoding operations, for example, operations performed on slices of data such as image data. The system implements fine-grained bit rate control allowing for non-integer bit rates to be specified for the system. The non-integer values may allow the system to more accurately characterize a data rate of a communication link between a source and sink. The more accurate characterization may facilitate improved utilization of the communication link capacity.
