Abstract:
1. A framework for real-time media applications on an applications processor in communication with an algorithm processor, comprising: (a) a plurality of plugins for a real-time media application on an applications processor; (b) a plurality of first algorithm components on an algorithm processor, each of said plugins corresponding to one or more algorithm component(s), and said algorithm processor in communication with said applications processor; (c) a component scheduler on said algorithm processor; (d) wherein said component scheduler provides quality of service for said application with regard to said components by: (i) component scheduling in response to controls from said plugins relating to execution of said components and (ii) notification of events related to execution of said components sent to said plugins; and (e) an applications processor scheduler to determine deadlines for a media stream that can be scheduled on said algorithm processor, and wherein said component scheduler on said algorithm processor schedules a frame at a time of said media stream.
