Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method of scheduling data processing at a pipelined data processing engine, and a command scheduler for scheduling data processing at the pipelined data processing engine. The command scheduler determines whether a first data stream is locked to the pipelined data processing engine based on a status of a current data frame of the first data stream in the pipelined data processing engine. The command scheduler will schedule a next data frame of the first data stream to the data processing engine if the first data stream is not locked to the pipelined data processing engine, or it will postpone the scheduling of the next data frame of the first data stream if the first data stream is locked to the pipelined data processing engine.
