Abstract
Various features of a high performance hardware scaler are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a hardware scaler comprises a first processing unit configured to perform preparation and scaling operations and a second processing unit configured to perform preparation and scaling operations. The first processing unit and the second processing unit alternatively switch between performing preparation and scaling operations when processing a current input pixel block such that the first processing unit performs scaling operations while the second processing unit performs preparation operations and the second processing unit performs scaling operations while the first processing unit performs preparation operations.
