<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques that make use of a summing buffer that receives waveform samples from audio processing elements, and sums and stores the waveform sums for a given frame. <P>SOLUTION: A method comprises summing a waveform sample received from an audio processing element to produce a waveform sum associated with a first audio frame, storing the waveform sum in a memory which is logically partitioned into a plurality of memory blocks, locking memory blocks containing the waveform sum associated with the first audio frame, transferring contents of locked memory blocks to an external processor, unlocking a memory block after contents of the memory block have been transferred to the external processor, and storing a waveform sum associated with a second audio frame within the unlocked memory block concurrently with transferring contents of remaining locked memory blocks associated with the first audio frame. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
