Abstract
A specification of a configurable processor is generated by generating (1) specifications of first and second stream memory interfaces to be operable to access data in accordance with first and second stream descriptors, and (2) a specification of an interim data storage device (buffer) to be accessed by the first and second stream memory interfaces and to be operable to receive data from a first computational module via the first stream memory interface and to transfer data to a second computational module via the second stream memory interface. The specifications are output and may be used to configure a configurable processor.
