Abstract
A system and method for processing data (e.g., encoded audio data in an audio decoder). Various aspects of the present invention may comprise a first memory module comprising a first software module and a second software module. A signal-processing module may comprise a processor and local memory. A first data segment may be received, and the processor may identify the first software module for processing the first data segment. The first software module may be transferred to the local memory and executed by the processor to process the first data segment. A second data segment may be received, and the processor may identify the second software module for processing the second data segment. The second software module may be transferred to the local memory in memory space formerly occupied by the first software module. The processor may then utilize the second software module to process the second data segment.
