Abstract
A system and method for time slicing multiple received data streams utilizing multiple processors in such a manner as to ensure that all processors are running at full capability and are efficiently timesharing a global memory storage area. The received data streams are each divided into fixed portions called spans. The invention is operable for sequencing the movement of the time-sliced spans between the processors, adjusting the scheduling of particular ones of the time-sliced spans as a function of either processor availability or maintenance of real-time transmission of the received real-time time-sliced data streams.
