Abstract

Systems and methods for dynamically sizing inter-kernel communication channels implemented on an integrated circuit (IC) are provided. Implementation characteristics of the channels, predication, and kernel scheduling imbalances may factor into properly sizing the channels for self-synchronization, resulting in optimized steady-state throughput.
