Abstract :
We describe a hardware and software platform for developing streaming applications. Programmers write stream programs in high-level languages, and a set of software tools maps these programs to code that runs on a streaming hardware system. The hardware platform includes two Imagine stream processors, together providing 32 GFLOPS peak performance, and a high-speed onboard network to carry video and other data between peripherals and the Imagine processors.
