Cycle-static dataflow: model and implementation

Cycle-static dataflow (CSDF) is used for specifying digital signal processing algorithms with a cyclically changing, but predefined, behavior. Unlike other models for such applications, CSDF allows for static scheduling and hence a very efficient implementation. We review the CSDF paradigm and present the scheduling approach for CSDF graphs that is currently implemented in the Graphical Rapid Prototyping Environment GRAPE.<
