Abstract:
1. A mobile device including a battery and a screen, and further comprising: a processing system powered by the battery and adapted to process plural frames of image data, the processing system including: a first processing unit comprising first hardware circuitry, a second processing unit comprising second hardware circuitry different than the first hardware circuitry, and an interconnect that conveys output data from the first processing unit to an input of the second processing unit; a memory containing instructions that cause the processing system to process one frame of image data with one of said processing units, while processing a different frame of image data with another of said processing units; and a setup module that sends information specifying operations to be performed on a first frame of image data by the first and second processing units, before the first processing unit begins processing said first frame of data; wherein said instructions and information: cause the first processing unit to process the first frame of data at a first time, applying a first function; cause the same first processing unit to process said first frame of data at a second, later time, applying a second function different than the first function; and cause the second processing unit to process said first frame of data between said first and second times, the second processing unit applying a third function different than the first and second functions.
