Abstract

The streaming computation model is appropriate for imaging applications because of the compute-intensive characteristics and memory access patterns. This paper advocates the streaming computation model and describes a streaming I/O peripheral used in a system-on-chip architecture. The impact on applications is described with details on performance gains from efficient memory transfers. Discussions on algorithm enhancements using streaming I/O peripherals are also provided.
