ABSTRACT:
A computer architecture and programming model for high speed processing over broadband networks are provided. The architecture employs a consistent modular structure, a common computing module and uniform software cells. The common computing module includes a control processor, a plurality of processing units, a plurality of local memories from which the processing units process programs, a direct memory access controller and a shared main memory. A processing system for performing graphics processing is also provided. A first processor is of a first processor type and a number of second processors are of a second processor type. One of the second processors can perform graphics processing on a first set of graphics data to generate a second set of graphics data, and another of the second processors can perform graphics processing on the second set to generate a third set of graphics data.
