ABSTRACT:
A smart video memory (10) is provided that includes data storage (12 and 18), a serial access memory (19), and a processing core (14 and 16) for executing instructions stored in the data storage area (12 and 18). Externally, smart memory (10) is directly accessible as a standard video memory device.
