Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide methods to calculate compression noise statistics of decompressed images in transform coding. They can be used in compressed image quality assessment, compression algorithm optimization, compression noise reduction, and other quantization and compression related applications.

Abstract:
In a multi-processor computing system, a multi-layer architecture is described in which each layer has a plurality of dual ported microprocessors, one port of which receives data for processing and the other port of which is utilized for unloading or passing data to a subsequent layer. If the processing cannot be completed prior to the time allotted for the next load cycle for a particular processor, the processing is interrupted, the state of the processor currently engaged in the processing is stored in the data and the state of the processor is transferred to a processor of a subsequent layer where processing resumes as if no interruption had occurred.
