Abstract :
A novel methodology is proposed for the data-path definition and assignment for high-throughput front-end audio, image, and video applications. The technique is based on the concept of the identification of application-specific units that can solve the computational bottlenecks of an algorithm in an efficient way. An algorithm for the automatic assignment of operations on these specific units is presented. A test vehicle taken from the video field demonstrates the proposed method.<>
