DYNAMIC BANDWIDTH DETERMINATION AND PROCESSING TASK ASSIGNMENT FOR VIDEO DATA PROCESSING

摘要

A method and apparatus for dynamic bandwidth determination and processing task assignment is disclosed. Embodiments include a video driver/interface that communicates with a video processing application such as a video editor. The video driver/interface is configurable to determine a best configuration of the system in order optimally perform the chosen video processing task. Configuration of a system includes dividing the task into subtasks and assigning the subtasks to processors of the system, including central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs). Configuration of the system also includes optimizing use of available memory of different kinds.
