Minimum initiation interval of multi-module recurrent signal processing algorithm realization with fixed communication delay

A novel iterative algorithm is proposed to compute the theoretical minimum initiation interval of a given recurrent algorithm when there is a known, fixed inter-module communication delay. Specifically, for a twin-module implementation problem, a novel representation called necessary initiation interval is introduced to facilitate the development of an iterative algorithm which yields both the minimum initiation interval and the corresponding cut set of the cyclic iterative computational dependence graph (ICDG). The convergence of this iterative algorithm in finite iterations is also proved
