Claim 10:
11. A method for sharing frame decompression circuitry between multiple cores, the method comprising:
compressing at a frame-level a first decoded frame to produce a first compressed frame;
compressing at the frame-level a second decoded frame to produce a second compressed frame;
accepting, from a first core, a first request for a first decompressed frame;
individually decompressing at the frame-level the first compressed frame to produce the first decompressed frame;
providing, to the first core, the first decompressed frame responsive to the first request;
accepting, from a second core, a second request for a second decompressed frame;
individually decompressing at the frame-level the second compressed frame to produce the second decompressed frame;
providing, to the second core, the second decompressed frame responsive to the second request; and
performing, by the first core and the second core, video transcoding.
