First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device comprising:
- a plurality of line buffer interface units; and
a memory unit configured to store image data partitioned into a plurality of line groups,wherein the device is configured to assign each line buffer interface unit to manage read and write requests for a respective line group of the plurality of line groups,wherein each line buffer interface unit is configured to receive a write request from a producer component, to identify a write location within the memory unit corresponding to the write request, and to store data at the write location within the memory unit according to the write request,wherein each line buffer interface unit is configured to receive a read request from one or more consumer components, to identify a read location within the memory unit corresponding to the read request, and to provide data stored at the read location within the memory unit according to the read request.

Abstract
An apparatus is described that include a line buffer unit composed of a plurality of a line buffer interface units. Each line buffer interface unit is to handle one or more requests by a respective producer to store a respective line group in a memory and handle one or more requests by a respective consumer to fetch and provide the respective line group from memory. The line buffer unit has programmable storage space whose information establishes line group size so that different line group sizes for different image sizes are storable in memory.
