1. A method, comprising:

  • associating each of first one or more processing elements operating according to a first operating system with a first plurality of video computing device processes, the first plurality of video computing device processes including an administrative process and a video data retrieval process;

    associating each of second one or more processing elements operating according to a second operating system with a second plurality of video computing device processes, the second plurality of video computing device processes including a video output process; and

    outputting, by the video output process associated with the second one or more processing elements, video output data at a controlled rate, wherein the video output data is generated at least in part by the video data retrieval process;

    adjusting associations of the first one or more processing elements and the second one or more processing elements in response to changes in at least one of loading of the first one or more processing elements, loading of the second one or more processing elements, monitored timing parameters, system loading conditions, system operating conditions, and operating system scheduler requirements;

    assigning, to the second one or more processing elements, communication interrupts associated with the second one or more processing elements; and

    assigning interrupts, other than the communication interrupts associated with the second one or more processing elements, to the first one or more processing elements.
