Abstract
A method of generating a hardware design for a pipelined parallel stream processor, by defining a hardware processing operation; specifying at least one propagation rule; defining a graph representing the processing operation in the time domain, comprising at least one data path to be implemented as a hardware design and a plurality of parallel branches; each data path having: at least one data path input, output, and discrete object corresponding to a hardware element; each discrete object comprises an input for receiving an input variable, an operator for executing a function on said input variable, and an output variable; optimizing each output from each discrete object in dependence upon the propagation rule to produce an optimised graph; and utilizing the optimised graph to define an optimised hardware design for implementation in said pipelined parallel stream processor.
