Abstract
A DSP manager acquires through software techniques configuration and related data for multimedia hardware devices from BIOS device drivers interposed to functionally insulate the resource manager from hardware device specific information. The DSP manager manages tasks executing on hardware devices in a multiple DSP environment. The DSP manager optimally assigns tasks, loads tasks, and removes tasks for a function without interrupting execution of tasks making up other functions.
