Abstract:
A signal processing system including:a first processor capable of executing instructions;a first memory pool accessible by said first processor to obtain executable instructions, said first memory pool further providing for the storage of a code module containing executable instructions implementing a first predetermined function;a second processor;a second memory pool primarily associated with said second processor;a plurality of code modules stored in said second memory pool, wherein said first memory pool has a size that is smaller than required to store said plurality of code modules, wherein a copy of a first code module of said plurality of code modules is stored in said first memory pool and wherein a second code module of said plurality of code modules, which is to be executed by said first processor, is copied into said first memory pool during execution by said first processor of said first code module, and wherein the implementation of said first predetermined function through the execution of executable instructions from said first code module is uninterrupted by the copying of said second code module into said first memory pool.
