The stream processing characteristics of many embedded system applications in multimedia and networking domains have led to the advent of stream based programming formats. Several ...
This paper introduces a parameterisable, application and platform-independent, hybrid memory sub-system for custom hardware. This memory sub-system consists of a scratchpad memory...
