CA 2671560

The present invention relates to methods and systems for updating a buffer 500. In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for updating a buffer 500, which includes strategically writing to the buffer 500 to enable concurrent read and write to the buffer 500. The method eliminates the need for double buffering, thereby resulting in implementation cost and space savings compared to conventional buffering approaches. The method also prevents image tearing when used to update a frame buffer 500 associated with a display, but is not limited to such applications. In another aspect, the present invention provides efficient mechanisms to enable buffer update across a communication link 110, 112. In one example, the present invention provides a method for relaying timing information across a communication link 110, 112.
