Abstract
A method of designing a pipeline comprises the steps of: accepting a task procedure expressed in a standard programming language, the task procedure including a sequence of computational steps; accepting a performance requirement of the pipeline; and automatically creating a hardware description of the pipeline, the pipeline comprising a plurality of interconnected processor stages, each of the processor stages for performing a respective one of the computational steps, the pipeline having characteristics consistent with the performance requirement of the pipeline.
