In this paper, we present Orcc, an open-source development environment that aims at
enhancing multimedia development by offering all the advantages of dataflow programming …

Much of the work to date on dataflow models for signal processing system design has
focused on decidable dataflow models that are best suited for one-dimensional signal …

Concurrently exploring both algorithmic and architectural optimizations is a new design
paradigm. This survey paper addresses the latest research and future perspectives on the …

Abstract The MPEG Reconfigurable Video Coding working group is develo** a new
library-based process for building the reference codecs of future MPEG standards, which is …

Dataflow is a Model of Computation (MoC) that describes applications as networks of actors.
The CAL Actor Language (CAL) is one of the programming languages for describing such …

Dataflow descriptions have been used in a wide range of Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
applications, such as multi-media processing, and wireless communications. Among various …

The trend in computing systems is to combine various kinds of processing elements (PEs) to
build more parallel architectures. This trend leads to more heterogeneous computing …

In application areas that process stream-like data such as multimedia, networking and DSP,
the pipelined concurrent processing is frequently represented as a dataflow network of …

In this paper we lay out a case for the use of dataflow programming and the CAL language
as a way of addressing current challenges in programming parallel hardware such as …

Embedded DSP computing is currently shifting towards manycore architectures in order to
cope with the ever growing computational demands. Actor based dataflow languages are …
