Abstract
Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques for dividing a frame comprising pixels into a number of macroblocks, each macroblock comprising a number of pixels within four macroblock boundaries. Various embodiments may also include creating at least two regions having a plurality of macroblocks by dividing the frame along macroblock boundaries and generating wave front groups based on the macroblocks in each region, each wave front group from each region comprising one or more macroblocks to process in parallel.
