1. A system, comprising:
a display;
a first display pipeline communicatively coupled to the display, wherein the first display pipeline is configured to:
process first image data;
transmit a status signal based on the processed first image data; and
transmit the processed first image data to the display; and
a second display pipeline communicatively coupled to the display and to the first display pipeline, wherein the second display pipeline is configured to:
perform a first portion of one or more processing operations;
receive the status signal from the first display pipeline;
in response to receiving the status signal, perform a second portion of the one or more processing operations after performing the first portion of the one or more processing operations;
process second image data based on the first portion and the second portion; and
output the processed second image data to the display.
