A video image processing pipeline controller is configured to control a bandwidth at which processing functions of a video image processing pipeline communicates, over one or more memory access channels, with a system memory. The controller is configured to, based on a current frame rate at which the video image processing pipeline produces a video stream and a target frame rate of the video image processing pipeline, reduce the bandwidth while securing that the current frame rate does not drop below the target frame rate, thereby reducing a peak power consumption of the video image processing pipeline. Also a video image processing system comprising the controller is disclosed as well as a method of reducing a peak power consumption in the video image processing pipeline.
A video image processing pipeline controller configured to control a bandwidth at which processing functions of a video image processing pipeline communicates, over one or more memory access channels, with a system memory, includes:
A video image processing system comprising:
A method of reducing a peak power consumption in a video image processing pipeline configured to process video image data into a video stream, the video image processing pipeline comprising a plurality of processing functions, wherein each processing function is configured to process video image data, and while processing of video image data, the processing functions are configured to access a system memory over one or more memory access channels, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon program code which when executed on a device having processing capabilities is configured to reduce a peak power consumption in a video image processing pipeline which processes video image data into a video stream, the video image processing pipeline comprising a plurality of processing functions, wherein each processing function is configured to process video image data, and while processing of video image data, the processing functions are configured to access a system memory over one or more memory access channels, comprising:
