Abstract
A method and system of efficient use and programming of a multi-processing core device. The system includes a programming construct that is based on stream-domain code. A programmable core based computing device is disclosed. The computing device includes a plurality of processing cores coupled to each other. A memory stores stream-domain code including a stream defining a stream destination module and a stream source module. The stream source module places data values in the stream and the stream conveys data values from the stream source module to the stream destination module. A runtime system detects when the data values are available to the stream destination module and schedules the stream destination module for execution on one of the plurality of processing cores.
