  • Method and apparatus for modeling dataflow systems and realization to hardware
    Patent number: 7509647
    Abstract: In hardware, performing computations on a stream typically requires handshaking signals to provide flow control. Many different handshaking protocols are available, and they are typically implemented in an ad hoc manner suited to the current design. An approach according to the invention uses a subset of the possible flow-control protocols in an effort to achieve a maximum amount of flexibility and reusability, while requiring only a moderate level of overhead when compared to manually-designed systems.
