Abstract
A method is described. The method includes constructing an image processing software data flow in which a buffer stores and forwards image data being transferred from a producing kernel to one or more consuming kernels. The method also includes recognizing that the buffer has insufficient resources to store and forward the image data. The method also includes modifying the image processing software data flow to include multiple buffers that store and forward the image data during the transfer of the image data from the producing kernel to the one or more consuming kernels.
